Royal House Antiques
Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this original circa 1900-1920 original Chinese Export Camphor wood and Iron steamer trunk with the original leather handles
Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price
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. It was made during the British occupation of China, this is known as export furniture meaning it was made for visiting dignitaries and the military to purchase and take home as a keepsake from their trip like the Italian Gran tour pieces so popular during the Victorian era
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

Condition
