AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Large Italian travel trunk dating from the early decades of the 20th century. This model stands out for its textured outer fabric in a suggestive dark green/olive hue, reinforced by classic vertical solid-wood battens and studded metallic profiles. The front is adorned with three splendid metal-bronzed shaped locks. Thanks to its notable height (52 cm) and capacity, it serves magnificently as a decorative blanket chest, a storage unit for blankets and cushions at bed base, or as an original furnishing element for entrances and living rooms with a vintage and industrial flavor.
The trunk preserves its splendid original patina and is solid in structure. It shows evident signs of time and use consistent with the era: notably widespread abrasions and losses of the colored fabric on the lower front and central part (as clearly visible in the photographs), natural oxidation on the metal parts and absence of the side leather handles. Keys not present. Interior in original state. The photos are an integral part of the lot description.
Dimensions: Width 90 cm, Depth 55 cm, Height 52 cm.
Era: Early 1900s (1910 - 1930).
Rare original green coloration, very decorative shield hardware. Perfect for interior design projects and modern antique styling.
The item will be packed with the utmost care (using sturdy thick cardboard and bubble wrap) to preserve its structure during transport. Shipping will be via tracked express courier with the following fixed rates:
Italy: 30 €
Europe (EU): 200 €
United Kingdom (UK): 250 €
