Description from the seller
Ancient travel chest in wood and metal – Late 19th / early 20th century
Description: Authentic antique travel trunk, made of wood with metal and leather reinforcements, datable between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a functional and decorative piece, representative of the era when trunks were used for personal transport on long journeys.
The exterior features a sturdy structure with corner pieces and metal reinforcements, as well as decorative details created with rivets forming geometric motifs and letters on the lid. It preserves remnants of its original finish with an attractive aged patina in brownish and greenish tones, the result of the passage of time.
The interior retains its original textile lining with decorative print, adding historical value and authenticity to the piece. It has a front lock (no key) and side handles. On one side there are traces of an old transport label, testimony to its original use.
Materials: Wood, metal and leather
Origin: Europe
Dating: ca. 1880–1920
Condition: Condition consistent with its age and use. General wear, markings, losses in the exterior covering, oxidation on metallic elements and small structural damages in the wood. Interior shows signs of use and deterioration. Unrestored piece, preserving its original character.
Dimensions: Approximate measurements to be confirmed
Observations: Ideal as a decorative piece, prop or for collectors of antique furniture and travel objects. Its authentic aesthetics and patina give it great character.
Shipping: It will be carefully packaged to ensure proper protection during transport.
