AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fascinating and large Italian travel trunk dating from the early decades of the 20th century (the 1910s/1920s), the golden era of great train and steamship travel.
The piece features a wooden structure covered with thick ochre/brown canvas, enhanced by vertical solid-wood reinforcement ribs and armoured metal profiles along the edges. The front is decorated with geometric frames stamped in contrast and three historical metal and brushed brass locks. Thanks to its generous size, today it is a vintage furniture accessory that is highly on-trend, ideal as an original coffee table, a bedside storage container or a scenic element for rooms with industrial or mid-century modern style.
Condition: The item is in its original found state and shows the classic fascinating signs of time and use that attest to its history. There is widespread wear on the outer canvas with tears and noticeable losses along the edges and the central closure line. The hardware shows natural metal oxidation and the side leather handles are missing. The wooden structure remains overall robust. The photos are an integral part of the lot description.
Dimensions: Width 100 cm, Depth 55 cm, Height 35 cm.
Era: Early 1900s (Liberty/Deco style).
Perfect for creative upcycling projects, interior design or collecting vintage travel curiosities.
Keys not present.
The item will be packed with the utmost care (using sturdy cardboard and bubble wrap) to preserve its structure during transport.
Shipping will be carried out via trackable express courier with the following fixed rates:
Italy: 30 €

United Kingdom (UK): 250 €
