Vintage Steamer Trunk - Displays a Desirable Aged Patina.
Brown Vintage Steamer Trunk – Gorgeous Statement Piece with Working Locks and Leather Handles in Good Condition.
The flat top vintage steamer trunk has plenty of character and is versatile in a contemporary home – It would make a perfect statement piece in any room.
True steamer trunks are low profile – they were brought “On Voyage” into the ships cabin and were limited to size. Any trunk larger than roughly 91 x 66 x 35cm is NOT a steamer trunk – It would be a travel trunk that was stored in the ships hold during the trip – “Not Wanted on Voyage” or “Hold” labels were placed on these types of trunks.
A good storage space inside and a large surface area on top gives this trunk a lot of versatility. The rich brown colours really give this trunk a bit of style and the remnants of the travel stickers add to the memories of the golden age of travel.
Dimensions: 91 x 33 x 50cm – (Approx)
CONDITION: The external condition of this trunk is good, with age related wear on the corners and bottom. The handle on one end is a little scuffed – when these trunks were stood for loading, it was this section that ended up a bit worse for wear. The front corner is scuffed slightly and has suffered a little more wear than the rest.
The paper lining has a small amount of wear & tear, with 1 section by the hinge has a small tear. The trunk is clean & dry internally.
The metal banding is complete and the catches and hinges work. The back section looks like it has had some extra external leather straps added.
This vintage item shows signs of age through scuffs & faded finishes. Please see item description and images for further details.
