About the Item
Antique suitcase in grey sheet metal. Structure reinforced by angle brackets and steel rivets painted black, characteristic of mid-20th century models. The piece is fitted with gold-plated brass fastenings and fittings, including a central zip with safety lock, two side zips with clips and side metal handles for carrying. At the centre of the front is an emblem with a crowned monogram, suggesting an aristocratic or institutional connection. The sheet metal construction makes it highly resistant, ideal for travelling by sea or rail, and this suitcase is representative of a period when transporting luggage required robustness and functionality combined with a certain sophistication.
An excellent example of utilitarian design with historical value, ideal for collectors or as a decorative piece for vintage or industrial interiors.
