AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Large Italian travel trunk dating from the early decades of the 20th century. This model is distinguished by its textured external canvas in a suggestive dark green/olive hue, reinforced by the classic vertical battens in solid wood and studded metal profiles. The front is adorned with three splendid locks shaped in dark-bronze metal. Thanks to its remarkable height (52 cm) and capacity, it serves magnificently as a decorative chest, a storage piece for blankets and pillows at the foot of the bed, or as an original furniture element for entrances and living rooms with a vintage-industrial flavor.

The trunk preserves its splendid original patina and is solid in its structure. 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 front and central 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 original condition. The photos are part of the lot description.

Dimensions: Width 90 cm, Depth 55 cm, Height 52 cm.

Era: Early 1900s (1910 - 1930).

Rare original green color, very decorative shield-style hardware. Perfect for interior design projects and mid-century modern décor.

The item will be packed with maximum care (using sturdy high-thickness cardboard and bubble wrap) to preserve its structure during transport. Shipping will be via tracked express courier with the following fixed rates:
Italy: 30 €
Europe (EU): 200 €
United Kingdom (UK): 250 €
