    Located in Hamburg, DE
    Luxurious Art Deco suitcase made of light parchment leather with rivets. Such pieces are rarely found, because the leather is of high quality and very popular. The colorful suitcases are typical of the Art Deco period, the golden 1920s. The case is made of wood and is in good condition. The cover is made of velum leather, also known as parchment. The corners and the handle are made of thick brown cowhide leather, which is a nice color contrast. Additional brass locks are attached to the sides and front. The inside is covered with a light-colored fabric and still has the original line holder. The case is easy to open and close. The leather handle is still intact. The piece comes from France and was bought in Paris. Due to the hard surface, the case can be used very well to put something else on it.

  • Antique Gothic Blanket Chest / Trunk with Amazing Patina & Original Lock ca 1700
    Located in Lisse, NL
    Marvelously hand-crafted chest from the late 1600s or early 1700s. One of the things that make antiques so appealing & attractive is the fact that most pieces were handmade in recognizable styles, with proven techniques AND with natural materials that could and would stand the test of time. The longer back in time we go, the more that seems to be the case. This amazing chest from circa 1680-1720 is clearly made in the Gothic Style with Gothic church window-like carvings. With Gothic style chests of this age being very rare, we were (and still are) very enthousiastic about finding it. Put together and strengthened with hand-forged, wrought iron brackets, nails AND with very large dovetails, the master carpenter provided the techniques that would guarantee the owner a chest that would last him (or her) a lifetime. As it turned out, his workmanship, in this case, created a chest that has already served some 15 generations. This heavy quality chest is made of solid elm and wrought iron only and the centuries of usage and natural aging have given this Gothic antique a patina that is simply heavenly. The striking and deeply hand-carved Gothic cathedral-like windows, but also the hand forged lock...
