£800    $1,013    €965
This fabulous circa 1880 vintage steamer trunk is a treasure trove of antiquity and functionality. The domed lid is not just a design element but a nod to the craftsmanship of the era, leading to an unusual fall front opening that unveils a well-preserved secret — the original linen-covered trays and adjustable shelves. Encased in a durable brown canvas, this trunk is fortified with wooden supports that speak of its strength and endurance through the ages. Adorned with brass studs and metal bandings, each embellishment adds to its historic charm while promising robust protection.
 
Meticulously restored, this trunk stands ready to serve not only as a decorative addition to any interior but also as a practical solution for storage opportunities. Whether it''s used to store cherished heirlooms or to display as a centrepiece in a room, this steamer trunk is a testament to the timeless elegance and storied past of the late 19th century. It invites onlookers and users alike to appreciate the blend of history and utility it offers.
