Description from the seller
Old travel trunk with initials – Late 19th / Early 20th century
Magnificent original travel trunk, dated approximately between the late 19th century and early 20th century, with authentic charm and strong decorative presence.
Made of solid wood with metal reinforcements, it features an elegant domed lid typical of travel trunks of the era, designed for greater durability and functionality during long journeys.
At the top stand out the initials “M.O.Z.”, created with metal studs, probably corresponding to its former owner, which adds a unique and historic character to the piece.
The interior preserves its original textile lining, with a beautiful decorative pattern, uncommon in pieces this old. It also retains its original lock (no key), as well as the hardware and structure intact.
Signs of use and the passage of time are evident (see photographs), which is consistent with its age and adds an attractive patina.
Features:
Material: wood and metal
Era: circa 1880–1920
Decorative initials: M.O.Z.
Original interior lining
Original lock (no key)
Condition: good for its age, with wear appropriate to use
Ideal for:
Vintage or industrial decoration
Side table or storage trunk
Collectors of antique objects
Authentic piece, with history, perfect for giving personality to any space.
