antique pirates sea travel chest

Profile picture for user nanmed61

Description

I have no pics as of this time, but will be taking some. The detail and craftsmanship on this item is incredible. There is a picture of a woman on the inside dome she is holding a teacup and saucer and is surrounded by four birds one of them drinking from the cup. There is also a border around the pic. The chest seems to have had some type of a paper lining..most of it is still there. I believe there is also a name that was scratched in on the underside of the chest..it is very difficult to see...I believe it may say Mitro.
