I have posted pictures of my cedar chest. It is on wooden wheels, has two brass strips on each side of the outter lid with brass tacks and a brass plate on the front of the chest with a circular key spot above it (size of dime?)
These 2 plaques have been in the famly since I can remember. I am now 43. When my mom passed away my sister and I found these wrapped up. Almost threw them away until a part of the parchment paper on the back came off and saw the very faint name of "Dolles" on the back of the pictures, stamped on the canvas. Very hard to make out. I have searched everywhere online and cannot locate this artist or pictures.
Was unable to upload the 2 other pictures which included the images of the stamp of "Dolles" on the back of both pictures

Delicate lines, heavily carved from top to bottom. Of dark wood, possibly mahogany, elaborate multi level shelves on either side with delicat railings all around. The door to the center cabinet has an intricately carved relief of a young girl in a bonnet in profile with pebbled and other backgrounds behind. There are somewhat rounded mirrors along the rear of the uppermost shelf and heavy knights in armor, made possibly of pewter, hold metal shafts, as if spears, that act as support for a sort of raised center crown.
This is a small porcelin box, with a lid with a man on top in a top hat and is red and green primarily. The lid is removable, I don't know if it's a trinket or gift box, or whatever. It has few markings, besides a number on the side of "7710", and some unidentifyable marking on the bottom, possibly in a different language.
