Black & Silver Bomb'e Chest

A little bombe chest from Belgium, brought to me by a good friend.  This little chest had a very loose top and a badly damaged finish.  I felt it was my duty to find a new life for this sad little guy...after all a tree had once been sacrificed for him and that is no small thing...to me.  I chose a hand painted rubbed black finish with champaign silver  detailing.  It occurs to me now that the tiny stripes in the border are not clearly seen in this photo.  I will take a detail shot of this to add later, because I think they are fun to do and see.  I have allot of fun with these quaint little chests.  Thanks for stopping by to see my work...
