Light Green Vintage Steamer Trunk – Gorgeous Statement Piece with Locks and Leather Handles in Good Condition.

A good storage space inside and a large surface area on top gives this vintage steamer trunk a lot of versatility. The light green colour really give this trunk a bit of unusual style as the weave give the trunk a “mottled” effect. The lighter colour of the trunks contrasts well with the wooden banding.

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.

CONDITION: The external condition of this trunk is good, with age related wear on the corners and bottom. The handles on the end are in good condition for age – when these trunks were stood for loading, it was this section that ended up a bit worse for wear.

The paper lining has a small amount of wear & tear, with some fading to one side, however it is clean & dry internally.

The wooden banding is complete and the catches work. There has been some woodworm in the past, but they seemed inactive when the trunk came to us – nevertheless, we have treated the trunk, just in case. The woodworm holes can be seen upon close inspection, but the pattern of the green covering means that they are less noticeable when the trunk isn’t being scrutinised.

Dimensions: 91 x 53 x 33cm – (Approx)
