    An old steamer trunk is a type of luggage. Most often, it has a rectangle or domed shape. Its purpose was to carry clothing and other personal belongings while traveling.

    The value of a trunk depends on the condition, style, size, and make. Usually fully restored American made trunks can be anywhere from $300 to $900. A vintage French made trunk will usually be more than $2,000. There are plenty of vintage trunks to be found on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJune 15, 2023
    Whether old storage trunks are worth anything depends on a number of factors. The trunk’s manufacturer is one of the biggest determiners of value. Pieces designed by Louis Vuitton, Malloy, Martin Maier, Oshkosh, Moynat, Taylor and Truesdale are highly sought by collectors, for example. The condition of the trunk and its style will also impact the price you can expect to receive for it. To get an idea of the fair market value of a particular piece, consult a certified appraiser or reputable antiques dealer. On 1stDibs, find a range of storage trunks.
