About the Item

A knockout of a trunk-turned-table, this early 20th-century English suitcase is pure Edwardian-era charm, embodying the refined yet adventurous spirit of the time. Woven wicker wraps the entire body, warm and textured, while leather strapping and trim—richly patinated from years of travel—reinforce the corners, edges, and lid. The original leather handle remains intact, a quiet nod to the era’s craftsmanship and the journeys this trunk once took. Now, with a custom steel base, it’s been transformed into the perfect drinks or side table—ideal for a cocktail, a stack of books, or anything you want to keep within arm’s reach. Slide it next to a club chair, tuck it under a console, or let it shine as a stand-alone statement. It’s that rare breed of piece—equal parts function, history, and sheer visual charm—that makes a room feel collected, considered, and alive.
