About the Item

The colorful blue paint is all original on this beautiful flat top trunk. Flowers were a traditional embellishment as seen on the front of this handcrafted trunk with monogram (BPD?) and date of 1858, indicating it was likely a wedding or dowry present. This trunk has original iron side handles, straps and corners. Note photo of interior that reveals a small box to store smaller personal items.

The painted finish is worn down to the pine below in several areas, reflecting generations of use.
