For all those interested in building traditional chests or trunks there is a wonderful Swedish museum site that show a hundred or more 16th-19th century trunks [kista in Swedish] with decorative iron, decorative painting [bloomster maling], various feet formates, curved and flat tops, etc. based on items that are forbidden export license because of their cultural importance to Sweden. Go to www.eoco.org and click on the British flag to get the English version and you will find a treasure trove of wonderful hand crafted trunks, furniture and other items. Enjoy. Richard O.
