Chest #2 (in progress)

A wooden chest, adorned with embossed metal foliage, rests quietly as it awaits discovery. Its interior holds only traces of paper, perhaps remnants of a later covering, marked by hints of adhesive. The lid curves more dramatically than its companion, suggesting elegance and movement, while its surface speaks subtly of time and use.

Newly acquired and photographed alongside Chest #1, this piece invites exploration and careful research. Its story is yet to unfold, guiding decisions between faithful restoration to honor its history or thoughtful reinvention to open new narratives. Each choice will respect the memory it holds while imagining its potential to carry new stories forward.
