"Stunning leather and cedar chest"
The workmanship on this chest is beautiful. This craftsman clearly takes pride in his work. Even the inside finish is satin smooth to the touch. I had been wanting a chest of this type for many years to replace one that I used to have. I just stumbled upon Novica in one of my many web searches. The ordering process was simple and I received the chest in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this company to others.

It exceeds our expectations in beauty, functionality, quality and uniqueness. And to know it was lovingly crafted by hand in Peru is perhaps the best feature of all. Many thanks!
