Description from the seller
Large vintage W.S.P. travel trunk – English green with brass hardware – Early 20th century
Elegant and rare original W.S.P. travel trunk dating to the first half of the 20th century, built according to the finest tradition of large shipping and transatlantic trunks. This model combines sturdiness, quality of construction and a refined aesthetic taste, making it ideal both as a collectible piece and as a striking piece of furniture.
The trunk features an elegant English green finish with black metal profiles and reinforcements, enhanced by corner brackets, locks, hinges and fittings in gilt brass. The original W.S.P. badge is on the front, while the locks bear the manufacturer's mark. The robust metal side handles facilitate movement.
The interior preserves the original lining with a geometric pattern in green and beige tones, a testimony to the authenticity of the era. It also includes the practical removable tray and the characteristic built-in garment/hold-all compartment attached inside the lid with original elastic straps, elements that are increasingly difficult to find complete today.
The structure is extremely solid and stable. The trunk shows normal signs of wear, small scratches, light abrasions and a natural patina that confirm its authenticity without compromising its charm. Locks are present; any keys are not included unless otherwise indicated in the photographs.
Thanks to its generous dimensions, it can be used as a storage trunk, a coffee table, a decorative element in classic, industrial or vintage environments, or as a refined complement for boutiques, hotels, professional studios and antique collections.
