March 24th: First Couturier Storeroom Visit

[The First Couturier's Storage]

Lily-shaped sconces are obscured by ceiling-high stacks of stamped crates, the overflowing containers filled with various paraphernalia.  A lone leather-backed chair sits buried beside pewter-riveted trunks, the clutter-filled containers covered by lengths of silk draped across a grouping of mannequins nestled against the back wall.   Room-length shelves occupy the available space along the walls, leaving enough space for a series of sealed chests to serve as makeshift tables.
Obvious exits: out 

A peahen-stamped crate:

a pewter-riveted trunk

l trunk
A faint trail of scuff marks mars the gentian leather framework of each rectangular trunk, the pewter rivets reinforcing the edges providing space of bits of brittle cobwebs.  Sticking out from the containers are bundles of fabric, their surfaces veiled in a thin layer of dust.
