Description from the seller

Louis Vuitton – Old travel trunk “malle courrier” – circa 1900–1920 – France

This piece makes a beautiful collectible or decorative item, representative of Louis Vuitton’s craftsmanship in the early 20th century. Condition: used, as is; see photos for details. Origin: France. Period: circa 1900–1920. Careful shipping or local pickup possible. Ideal for a collector or enthusiast of vintage luxury luggage.
