As we stated in the Lead Heading we saved the Beautiful Original Dome Picture, we cleaned it and then we clear coated over it to preserve it for many more years to come. We then removed the old lining as it was getting flakey. So we then sanded and sealed coated the rest of the inside and then we clear satin coated with three coats, hand sanding between coats to achieve a fine smooth finish. The inside tray was missing when we got the trunk, so we made a tray that is of the appropriate style that matches the trunk.  We matched up and or made an antique key that Does activate the Original lock. This is a nice feature to have so that you can lock away your special items. Also present is the properly working lid stay!   Lots of times this crucial part of the trunk is missing.  It’s purpose is to hold the trunk in the open position so you can safely put things in or remove things from the trunk.   We also finished the bottom of the trunk and made sure all the roller casters are present and in working order. All our trunks are covered with three coats of a Top Grade Satin

Varnish which will preserve them for many more years to come.
