Rare Gothic German Oak and Iron Chest Known as "Stollentruhe"
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This large chest stands on high legs prolonging the lateral jambs. Presenting a sober and severe appearance the chest still belongs to the Medieval tradition. The piece is made from very high quality Hungarian wood.
The jambs are joined to the facade and the lateral sides thanks to pegged mortise and tenon securing a great stability and squareness between each parts. The upper lid is made of two joined parts and so is the facade.
The ironwork is present all over the surface of the chest and brings both an additional stability to the construction as well as a rich decor. The lid is secured with hinges. Hinges also run all over the chest in horizontal and vertical lines, ending in a floral motif. The hasp lock is also very ornamental.
Those chests always present important proportions especially when they are made early in the period. This model was very popular in Germany and stayed in vogue until the 16th century. However the feet Gothic decor...

A large and exceptional 15th c. Gothic leather and iron bound travelling chest
Located in PARIS, FR
Large leather and iron bound travel chest, very rare in its dimensions
Late 15th century, Northern France
Dimensions: h.103 cm, w. 178 cm, d. 77cm ( (H. 40.55 in, w. 70.08 in. d. 30.31 in)
Our rectangular-shaped chest opens with a rounded lid. It is entirely covered in leather veneered on a wooden core, and decorated with wrought and crafted iron frames and hinges.
It is garnished on all sides with iron hinges cut at the ends of Gothic trefoils.
On the facade two lock plates with cut-out cloverleaf borders fitted with a hasp (one missing) attached to the cover.
The iron bands serving as reinforcements on all sides as well as the central bands are decorated with plant and floral friezes and geometric patterns. These strips are attached to the wood using daisy-headed nails, typical of the French Renaissance.
Given its size and loaded weight, our trunk has four carrying handles: two wrought iron side handles, but also two front handles.
The interior has a stretched fabric dating from at least the 17th century, we find on the interior sides of the cover the original raspberry-colored vellum.
This is a rare model in leather and iron of very large dimensions. Expensive materials, which were only used on small Gothic boxes (20 cm to 50 cm in length) like those in the public collections of many museums.
Large chests exceeding 1 meter in length for the sake of economy and simplicity were generally made of wood sometimes covered with iron cladding.
We found a large chest in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of New York, but still smaller than ours (inv. 47.144, dim. H: 22 1/2" W: 50 1/2" D: 21").
There are also two similar large chests (with flat or slightly domed lids) in the collections of the Barcelona Leather...

French Parisienne Black wood and brass travel trunk - 19th Paris France
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Very fine late 19th century travel trunk in wood, brass, black coated canvas and interior fabric by A. Maille-Lavolaille.
This superb trunk bears a plate monogrammed "C.F & Cie Paris" and a second plate numbered 2.
The lock is inscribed "A. MAILLE-LAVOLAILLE" and "3 Rue Croix-des-Petits-Champs" are the name and Paris address of the manufacturer.
The signature on the lock is quite rare, making this model particularly interesting.
A goddess or gorgon is engraved on the top of the lock.
A label remains inside the trunk.
This extremely decorative, yet useful and historic trunk has very nice dimensions.
The trunk shows signs of wear due to its age and many travels, making it a wonderful witness to history.
Late 19th century - France
The Lavolaille firm, successor to Katz et Cie, was founded in 1845, specializing in trunks for sales representatives. Made of wood, with strong handles and straps, and with interior layouts that varied according to the object, they were the ancestors of the "marmotte".
Lavolaille would later join forces with A. Maille, another trunk manufacturer specialized in commercial travelers.
Most trunks are covered with black canvas, steel or brass edging and decorative upholstery nails on the top or front of the trunk.
Some trunks had nails signed "Lavolaille", like Louis Vuitton nails.

Carved Tuscan Wedding Cassone, Renaissance Period
Located in Saint-Ouen, FR
This cassone, remarkable for its sobriety, sits on two clawed lion’s feet and a moulded base.
On the façade, there is one large, moulded frame, with two soberly carved medallions inside it. Each medallion has a painted coat of arms at the centre. The two coats of arms are different, suggesting that there was an alliance between two families through marriage.
The thick lid has a fluted frieze at the front.
On the sides, a wrought iron handle reminds us of the use of this piece, which was intended for storing the property of its owner and allowing them to travel between various residences. The square shaped handles highlight the earliness of this object in the century.
The cassone is, along with the bed, a key piece of furniture of the Middle Ages and was still used in the Renaissance Period.
