About the Item
Beautifully designed and highly portable, this French domed top trunk was constructed by hand with a wooden body enveloped in chocolate-colored leather. The trunk, which dates to the 1700s, also features meticulously placed nailheads forming intricate clusters like lozenges, roundels, and volutes. Its interior is a visual delight, featuring yellow upholstery adorned with vivid red flowers and green leaves, while the main compartment is lined in solid yellow. With drop-down iron handles attached to elegantly shaped mounts, this trunk is as functional as it is beautiful, making it perfect for small storage needs in any space, whether it’s a bedroom, bathroom, or hallway. Brass embellishments on the edges not only enhance its aesthetic appeal but also provide additional protection, ensuring that this timeless piece will be treasured for generations to come.
