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 steamship travel.
The piece features a wooden frame covered in thick ochre/brown canvas, enriched by vertical solid-wood reinforcement battens and studded metallic edge profiles on the corners. The front panel is decorated with contrasting geometric frames and three antique metal and brushed brass locks. Thanks to its generous dimensions, today it serves as a vintage furniture accessory with great trend appeal, ideal as an original coffee table, a bed-end storage chest, or a scenographic element for industrial or mid-century modern interiors.
Condition: The item is in the original found state and shows the classic, fascinating signs of time and use that testify to its antiquity. Noted are widespread wear to the outer canvas with tears and noticeable losses along the edges and along the central closure seam. The hardware shows natural metal oxidation, and the leather side handles are missing. The wooden structure remains overall robust. The photos are an integral part of the lot description.
Dimensions: Width 100 cm, Depth 55 cm, Height 35 cm.
Era: Early 1900s (Art Nouveau / Deco style).
Perfect for creative upcycling projects, interior design, or collecting vintage travel memorabilia.
Keys not included.
The item will be carefully packed (using sturdy cardboard and bubble wrap) to preserve its structure during transport.
Shipping will occur via trackable express courier with the following fixed rates:
Italy: €30
Europe (EU): €200
United Kingdom (UK): €250
