AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Important antique travel trunk with a strong visual presence, built with a sturdy wooden structure covered in dark green painted canvas. The trunk preserves refined brass hardware, including shaped corner elements, decorative studs, perimeter reinforcements, and original side handles, features that emphasize its authentic character and the charm of vintage travel suitcases.

The flat lid is reinforced by black strips and a dense row of rivets; on the front there are two side locks and a central closure. The interior is fully lined with tartan fabric in beige, brown, and black tones, creating an elegant contrast with the green exterior. The trunk offers a spacious and functional compartment, ideal for storing linens, blankets, books, accessories, or personal items.

Era: first half of the 20th century, circa 1920–1940.
Style: travel trunk / steamer trunk, with classic English and colonial taste.
Materials: wooden structure, painted canvas covering, brass fittings, black trims, tartan fabric interior.
Color: dark green, black, and brass; interior beige, brown, and black.
Dimensions: length 100 cm, width 54 cm, height 54 cm.

The condition is consistent with the age and original use of the item: there are scratches, marks, small abrasions, and surface wear on the paint and trims, clearly visible in the photographs. These traces do not compromise the trunk’s solidity and enhance its authentic patina and lived-in character. The locks are present; keys are not guaranteed.

Perfect as a decor element in a bedroom at the foot of the bed, entry hall, living room, study, boutique, hotel, or vintage-style environment. It can be used as storage, a low coffee table, decorative chest, or as a collectible piece for lovers of antique travel items and classic furnishings.

Careful professional packaging will be provided. Considering the size of the object, shipping may take 5 to 15 working days depending on the destination.
