Storage trunk - Wood - Baule – Restored and Hand-Painted - decoration inspired by Mediterranean landscapes

Authentic travel bag – Restored and hand-painted

This travel trunk dates from the 19th century and has been carefully restored to preserve its authenticity and historical character. The structure, hinges, latch, and metal bands are original to the period. The bumper slats on the lid and reinforced corners confirm its function as a transport trunk.

The trunk was subsequently transformed into a unique work through the painterly intervention of Lorenzo Usicco, who reinterpreted its history by amplifying the very sense of travel. The decoration, inspired by Mediterranean landscapes, evokes seascapes and architecture typical of the islands, creating a harmonious and contemporary visual narrative while respecting the authenticity of the object.

On the front, a view reminiscent of Capri, Ponza, and Ischia.

Typical houses and architecture of Mediterranean islands.

In the background, a sunset with sailing ships and coastal profiles.
