About the Item

Add a piece of history to your home with this stunning antique wooden trunk, dating from approximately 1880-1890. Handcrafted from solid pine, this charming piece was originally designed for travel, featuring a beautifully curved dome-top lid — an iconic shape that helped rainwater run off while protecting travelers’ belongings. The trunk boasts its original iron hardware, including sturdy corner brackets, iron bands, and a functional lock plate (key not included). Its warm, timeworn patina and visible wood grain give it rich character, with authentic wear consistent with age and use. Inside, wide plank construction and original iron supports are visible, offering a raw, rustic beauty. Perfect for a vintage, country, or industrial-style interior, this trunk can be used as a coffee table, blanket chest, or unique storage solution. Its practical size and versatile aesthetic make it a timeless piece that blends function with charm.
