ANTIQUE ViCTORIAN LEATHER ELM & CANVAS STEAMER TRUNK CHEST COFFEE TABLE MUST SEE

About the Item

We are delighted to offer for sale this original circa 1880 English Elm strapped with Wrought Iron rivets, leather handled, canvas steamer trunk This is a very well made example of a steamer trunk designed for luxury travel on cruise liner ships. This would have been a very expensive piece in its day and the height of sophisticated travel. This piece has an amazing patination that can only be achieved through honest age and genuine use This is a decorators piece and really sets a mood, it can be used laying down as a coffee table of course which is what most people do, they make great conversation pieces. If the new owners wish I can have a thick beveled edge glass top made so its easier to use as a cocktail /coffee table, if that’s something your interested in please contact me for the price Condition is period and wonderfully patinated, you honestly could ask for a better example, one of the side handles is missing, usually they are both gone so that fact that one remains is a bonus! Dimensions Height:- 33cm Width:- 79.5cm Depth:- 49.5cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
