Description from the seller
Antique travel trunk 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 century. It is a functional and decorative piece, representative of the era when trunks were used for personal transport during long journeys.
The exterior features a sturdy structure with corner protectors and metal reinforcements, as well as decorative details made with tacks forming geometric patterns and letters on the lid. It retains remnants of its original finish with an attractive aged patina in brown and greenish tones, the result of the passage of time.
The interior preserves its original textile lining with a decorative print, adding historical value and authenticity to the piece. It has a front lock (no key) and side handles. On one of the sides there are traces of an old transport label, testament to its original use.
Materials: wood, metal and leather
Origin: Europe
Dating: ca. 1880–1920
Condition: Condition appropriate for its age and use. General wear, marks, losses in the exterior coating, oxidation on metal elements and minor structural damage to the wood. Interior shows signs of use and deterioration. Unrestored piece, preserving its original character.
Dimensions: Approximate measurements to be confirmed
Notes: Ideal as a decorative piece, prop or for collectors of antique furniture and travel objects. Its authentic aesthetic and patina give it great personality.
