    Trunk is 32" long 24" high 19" wide inside is 17" deep. Exterior is wood and metal. floral decor on front and both end, but the back is grape vines. I purchased this at a garage sale, and just love old things, and like to preserve the old true way of life. Just trying to figure out who made it, where it was made, and possibly a true likeness. It does have small wheels to move it around, don't know if they were added later or not. I have noticed that there seems to be a different color under all that Brown, color looks to be metallic Aqua color, very pretty.
