A W Insall Original Small Travelling Campaign Trunk

19th century
Description

An original small coaching travelling trunk from the first half of the 19th Century.

The wooden structure is covered with canvas treated to give a kind of modern rain repellent look. These types of luggage were travelling outside and needed that kind of extra protection.

A removable compartment as well all the internal are still lined with the original paper and linen.

Original handles, lock and clasp, no key.

Made by the highly regarded company William Insall of Bristol, as per their printed label inside the lid.

Insall produced superb luggage which is rare to find. While established in 1829 at St Augustine’s Parade in Bristol, the first record of a John Insall in Bristol was in 1796.

Wear and tear commensurate with travelling use and age.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A campaign trunk is a portable storage chest designed for travel and military transit, constructed to withstand movement while providing secure storage for personal items.

Traditional travelling trunks were constructed with solid timber frames covered in leather, canvas, or vulcanised fibre, reinforced with brass studs, metal corner brackets, and iron carrying handles.

Authentic pieces feature heavy-duty iron or brass hardware, hand-driven studs, makers stamped lock plates, and original fabric lining or manufacturer trade labels.

A small travelling trunk can be placed at the foot of a bed, utilised as a low side table, or positioned in an entrance hall as decorative storage.

Dust surfaces regularly with a soft microfibre cloth, apply a specialist leather conditioner to prevent drying, and place the piece away from direct sunlight and radiators.
