19th Century Heavy Leather Travel Storage Trunk - Strong Box












19th Century Heavy Leather Travel Storage Trunk - Strong Box
A gorgeous 19th century Victorian, leather travel trunk with iron fittings & bindings, circa 1880. The trunk displays an enviable patination throughout and opens up to reveal its all original signature striped ticking (fabric). A great interiors piece or film/theatrical prop that exhibits so much character and charm. Given the craftsmanship and substantial build quality, i suspect this would have retailed in a top London fashion house of the time.
To keep the integrity and history of this superb piece, it will come to you, in its as found original condition with only a light nourishing wax polish, on our part, to further enhance its wonderfully rich, chestnut like colouring.
Aesthetics matched by its versatility and function. An absolute gem in my opinion, and one that opens itself up to a number of room placement options.
Condition: Strong, robust & fully functional. All manner of dings, marks or scars that blend extremely well to display a stunning and consistent patination. Photos sum up nicely its overall condition.
