A yearslong fight between two antique dealers over a “Dominique” chest, auctioned online for $275, has appeared in state courts from New York to California, and finally landed before the New Jersey Appellate Division.

At that time, Rago was doing business as Rago Arts & Auction Center, according to the opinion.
