AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian travel trunk from the early decades of the 20th century. This model stands out for its distinctive external textured canvas in a suggestive dark green/olive shade, reinforced by the classic vertical battens in solid wood and studded metal profiles. The front is embellished with three splendid metal-bronzed cut-out locks. Thanks to its notable height (52 cm) and capacity, it is magnificently suited as a decorative storage chest, a bed-cover and pillow storage cabinet, or as an original furnishing element for entrances and living rooms with a vintage and industrial vibe.
The trunk preserves its splendid original patina and is solid in construction. It shows evident signs of time and use consistent with the era: in particular widespread abrasions and losses of the colored canvas on the lower and central front 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 its original state. The photos are an integral part of the auction 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 mid-century/industrial style.
The item will be packed with maximum care (using high-strength cardboard and bubble wrap) to preserve its structure during transport. Shipping will be via traceable express courier with the following flat rates:
Italy: 30 €
Europe (EU): 200 €
United Kingdom (UK): 250 €
