Lovely Locks

When my sister moved in with her husband, she found that some pieces of furniture they had did not fit into their new home. One of the items that didn't make the cut was a storage chest. Although it initially was in the house, eventually, it was a piece of furniture that didn't fit with their lives.

Since I had always admired it, and always seem to run low on storage space, I inherited the piece. One of the things I love about it is the detail to the simple elements of the piece. Since it is older, the iron work on the locks is more detailed than its modern day companions. It makes me appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that we seem to have lost.
