French 19th Century Steamer Trunk

About the Item

A fantastic 19th century French traveling trunk, constructed of pine and steel, dressed in light peach colored illustrations on paper. Graphic, geometric patterns and stylized cartouche animate the exterior, the gridded layout underscored by the steel and wood frame that would have protected one’s personal effects while traveling by steamship or by train. Stickers from cities around France are still adhered to the sides, some still perfectly legible. Remains of leather handles are also evident but not intact. Opening the lid reveals a paper-lined interior with a dainty blue and white theme. We believe this item to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.
