Description from the seller

Luxe Wardrobe Trunk / suit trunk with drawers, clothes hangers and original keys – ca. 1920-1940

Quite a beautiful and largely complete wardrobe trunk from the first half of the 20th century. This type of luxury travel case was used for longer train and ocean journeys and acted as a compact wardrobe during travel.

The original keys are still present. The inside is lined with the original decorative fabric featuring a characteristic pattern. The outside is finished in black with metal reinforcements, corner pieces and original fittings.
