Vintage Leather Fitted Gentleman’s Suitcase C.Antrobus Attributed To Finnegans Of Bond Street London Victorian C1880
£315 $422 €369
Vintage Gentlemans Leather Fitted Suitcase .
*Suitcase stand not included but may be available upon request*
A high quality and unusual antique leather suitcase.
We are delighted to be able to offer to you this excellent original condition late Victorian C1880-1900 solid leather Gentleman''s travel suitcase. We believe that this case was made by the maker Finnegans of bond street London from the construction and quality, however, there is no makers name present. The suitcase has the words ''C. ANTROBUS'' hot stamped into the top which is the name of the original owner which this suitcase was made for. We believe that this suitcase could have been made for Cecil Hugh Antrobus or Charles Alexander Antrobus. Both of these men were Captains in the first world war and were killed in action in 1915 as per the Brass memorial plaque in Eaton, Cheshire.
High commanding officers in the military would have had a few suitcases, this one would have likely been for toiletries, cleaning a...nd writing home to loved ones. Inside this rare suitcase is fully lined in green polished calfskin leather and is fully fitted inside for holding various items. The lower holster can be removed and is made to stand up on its own and is even complete with a small chrome handle which tucks into the binder for carrying the holster. Inside this suitcase remains 3 bone handled soft brushes for cleaning formal clothes and 1 Inkwell which are all original items to the case.
This Lovely suitcase is made from the finest solid supple leather inside and out, complete with reinforcement stitches, leather carry handle and chrome plated latching locks complete with original working key . The suitcase is very sturdy and does not sag in the centre like most vintage suitcases. This luggage is ideal to be used as a coffee table, vintage/retro chest for storage or just be used as a room decor/blanket chest. A piece of glass could be made to fit the top to make it into the perfect vintage coffee table whilst protecting the leather (enquire and we can quote for this).
We have just cleaned and waxed this suitcase to give it a lustrous natural sheen and preserve and nourish the leather and protect this fine item for many more years to come.
Please note this item is in very good condition for its age but does have obvious damage here and there, however, we feel that adds to the charm of the item with it being vintage. Also note, we believe that the handle has been repaired at some stage, however, it is a very old repair which is strong and does not effect its use.
Also note, the suitcase stand is not included in the sale however may be available upon request.
