Decorative Trunk Lid Hinges and Locks

Hi! I usually hang out in the cooks talk forum, but I thought I would come over here for some expert advise! My husband is making a chest and would like to put some beautiful hinges and a pretty lock on it. Does anyone know of a good source for interesting hardware of this type? Thanks! Becca

Van Dyke's -- Probably has the widest variety of restoration-styles of hardware.

They are on the web, as well as a catalog outfit. Quality and service have never been a problem for me.

Politics is the antithesis of problem solving.
