Use one in place of your coffee table in the living room or add a cushion and throw pillows to transform it into a bench. Lift the lid and add supports and cushions to create a one-of-a-kind accent chair, or position it beside your bed as a nightstand. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of metal trunks.
- What is an old steamer trunk?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022An 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 name comes from the fact that most often, their owners traveled via steam ship. Shop a selection of antique steamer trunks on 1stDibs.
- How much are old trunks worth?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The 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, 2023Whether 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.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 15, 2024How you can tell how old a Louis Vuitton trunk is varies based on whether or not it has a serial number. Trunks made starting in 2000 have a six-digit serial number consisting of two characters separated from a group of four characters by a hyphen. In the grouping that appears after the hyphen, the second and fourth numbers tell you the year of production, while the first and third numbers correspond to the week that the trunk was produced. For example, 1221 would mean that Louis Vuitton made the trunk during the 12th week of 2021. If your trunk has a serial number in a different format, experts recommend contacting Louis Vuitton directly for assistance with dating. You will usually need to provide images of your trunk and proof of purchase. For antique and vintage trunks that lack a serial number, look for the address of the retailer that sold them printed on a label inside. You can then research when this retailer was in business to get a rough idea of your trunk's age. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert assist you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of Louis Vuitton trunks.
