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 age of great train and steamboat travel.
The piece features a wooden frame clad in thick ochre/brown canvas, enriched by vertical wooden reinforcement battens and riveted metallic edge profiles on the corners. The front is decorated with contrasting geometric frames stamped in relief and three historic metal and burnished-brass locks. Thanks to its generous dimensions, today it is a vintage furniture accessory of great trend, ideal as an original coffee table, bed-end storage chest, or scenographic element for environments in industrial or mid-century modern style.
Condition: The item is in its original found state and shows the classic and fascinating signs of time and use that attest to its history. Noted widespread wear on the exterior canvas with tears and evident losses along the edges and along the central closure line. The hardware shows natural metal oxidation and the side leather handles are missing. The wooden structure remains robust overall. 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 recycling projects, interior design, or collecting vintage travel memorabilia.
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 take place via trackable express courier with the following fixed rates:
Italy: €30
Europe (EU): €200
United Kingdom (UK): €250
