    This was my 90 year old mothers great grandmothers trunk. Unfortuntally it has been painted and lined with ugly paper. Is it possible to have it refinished or even worth it?

    It's a shame someone painted it. Domed trunks are tough to sell even in top shape, so I'd just keep it in the family. I'm betting if the lining isn't original it's darned close. I'd leave it alone.
