This piece has been made using the top from a large old trunk. I have embellished it with clay that has been sealed and painted with several layers and sealed again with an aging wax to produce an authentically old appearance. The remnants of old newpaper in the background were original to the piece I just sealed them on adding to the permanence and old style appeal. In fact, many of the ads influenced the theme of the piece! There is a top coat for $25, watch and ring ads as well. I made this piece several years ago and it has been displayed in my home. I am redoing a few rooms so time for a swap out!
The piece measures a large 37 by 19 inches.
