English 19th Century Leather Trunk

About the Item

We absolutely love this decorative trunk from England! Bound in perfectly worn dark leather and adorned with brass studs in swirling patterns. The lock is in working condition and includes one key. A pair of simple handles on each side make it easy to carry even when filled. The interior is lined with a faded red fabric and is fixed with leather cording to support the lid. Both decorative and functional, this unique petite trunk will add a touch of whimsy to any space. Make sure to scroll through all of the photographs to get a closer look at the details. Circa 1880.
