AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Beautiful Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) trunk from the early 20th century, executed in dark stained wood with a striking visible grain structure. The sober, geometric design is stylishly accented by original brass fittings, including hinges and a decorative locking plate with a keyhole. Typical Jugendstil: functional, elegant, and with an eye for detail.
The chest rests on light splayed legs and has a solid construction. The interior is neatly finished in warm wood and is in good, clean condition. Ideal as a jewelry chest, document chest, or decorative object on a desk, sideboard, or display cabinet. Traces of age and use are present and contribute to the authentic look.
A characterful object for lovers of Jugendstil, Art Nouveau, and early 20th-century interior art.
