About the Item

Crafted from European Oak and finished with a light stain, this substantial trunk boasts generous storage and solid construction. The trunk features a recessed plank top and recessed panels on the sides and front. A carved apron below the four front panels showcases elegantly scrolled foliage. Long iron hinges, twisted iron handles, a triangular escutcheon, and a decorative iron embellishment on the top of the trunk add to the style and overall charm. Typical of large trunks during the mid-19th century, there is a narrow lidded box inside the trunk for protecting small items. No key.

Long circa 1800 Gothic Style Oak Board Trunk from France
Located in Dallas, TX
This is an unusually long Gothic style trunk from France, measuring nearly 6.5 feet long. It is carved from thick oak planks, and it dates to circa 1800. The trunk has well carved characteristic Gothic ornamentation on all of the front panels, while the rest of the piece remains simple, except a small molding to the lid. The big oak panels are joined by dowel reinforced mortise and tenon construction. The long single plank lid is attached by iron hinges and opens to reveal a large rectangular space which reveals how all the boards were assembled. There is also a latch and keyhole at the center. This rare trunk would be perfect at the foot of a king size bed, an accent piece under a tall tapestry...
