AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Important antique travel trunk with strong decorative presence, made with a sturdy wooden structure covered in dark green painted canvas. The trunk retains refined brass hardware, including shaped corner protectors, decorative studs, perimeter reinforcements and original side handles, all details that highlight its authentic character and the charm of early travel luggage.
The flat lid is reinforced with black straps and a dense row of rivets. The front features two side locks and a central fastening. The interior is fully lined with tartan fabric in beige, brown and black tones, creating an elegant contrast with the dark green exterior. The trunk offers a spacious and practical storage compartment, suitable for linens, blankets, books, accessories or personal belongings.
Period: first half of the 20th century, circa 1920–1940.
Style: travel trunk / steamer trunk, with classic English and colonial influence.
Materials: wooden structure, painted canvas covering, brass fittings, black trims, tartan fabric interior.
Colour: dark green, black and brass; beige, brown and black interior.
Dimensions: length 100 cm, width 54 cm, height 54 cm.
The condition is consistent with the age and original use of the piece. It shows scratches, marks, minor abrasions and surface wear to the painted finish and trims, all clearly visible in the photographs. These signs do not affect the trunk’s solidity and enhance its authentic patina and lived-in character. Locks are present; keys are not guaranteed.
An excellent decorative and functional piece for a bedroom at the foot of a bed, entrance hall, living room, study, boutique, hotel or vintage-inspired interior. It can be used as storage, a low coffee table, decorative chest or collectible piece for lovers of antique travel objects and classic interiors.
Careful professional packaging will be provided. Due to the size of the item, shipping may take approximately 5 to 15 working days depending on the destination.
