French Vellum White Leather Suitcase or Valise with Original Labels, 1920s

About the Item

Elegant and finely crafted, this French cream vellum suitcase or valise from the 1920s exudes timeless sophistication. Constructed from wood and parchment, adorned with brass studs and lock plates, this piece showcases meticulous attention to detail. The original travel labels evoke a sense of wanderlust and history. Versatile in its application, this suitcase is a delightful addition that can serve as a side table, a nightstand in a bedroom, or grace the end of a sofa in a living room. Its multifunctional design makes it equally suitable for practical use, decor purposes, or storage needs. Opening up to reveal an interior with its original fabrics, this valise offers a glimpse into its storied past. Despite the passage of time, it remains in good condition, bearing the graceful marks of age that lend it an authentic patina of use, accompanied by minor scratches that only enhance its character. Please keep in mind that in many cases we sell vintage and antique pieces. None of these pieces should be considered new or in perfect condition. All of our vintage products show the rich beauty and history of their life with the knocks and bumps of many years of use. We restore our pieces so they will be clean and in a good working condition. However we try to minimise restoration to keep every piece as original as possible. The physical object can differ slightly in colour from the object as presented online. We have made every effort to display colours accurately, but cannot guarantee that the pictures accurately reflect the colour of those goods in real life.
