Depending on when and where the sweetheart chest was made, it can have a flat top or a domed top. It is usually a small rectangular chest, smaller than a trunk. It is highly decorated with an ornate clasp and lock. It is usually monogrammed or adorned with other symbols from the family name or crest.
