    I saw this yesterday at Volunteers of America. A 13 1/2" x 19" x 15" tall chest. It's made of a light carved wood with court scenes printed on paper and decoupaged to the surface. The hinges, handles and latch are a brass like metal. The interior is done in a burgundy flocked lining. There is a tiny gold label on the bottom that says "made in China". I liked it a lot but they wanted fifteen dollars for it that day. Way too much for just a decorator piece in my opinion. Well today it was still there, but lo' and behold it had been marked down to eight dollars ! However there was a 3 " scratch in the center of the lid this time. Oh well it will touch up and now the price is right ! -Mike-
