Antique Country Gentleman's Suitcase, Scottish, Leather, Travel Case, Edwardian

1900 - 1920
Description

This is an antique country gentleman's suitcase. A Scottish, leather travelling case, dating to the Edwardian period, circa 1910.

Superb example with a generous proportion and well-appointed interior

Displays a desirable aged patina and in good, lightly time worn order

Quality leather, tanned to a deep amber hue and pleasingly intact

Brass used throughout for press studs, mounts and clasps

Stout handle with lock cover between a pair of long luggage straps

Sliding circular clasp with inset lock — untested, key absent

Opens to reveal a dual division interior, providing storage in each half

Storage height of 13.5cm within the base and 11cm behind the division

Canvas lining to the interior in a warm cream hue with light brown leather straps

Divider hosting a striking red pouch to one side, with a wide document sleeve on the reverse

Fascinating Art Nouveau maker's mark for Reid and Todd of Glasgow to the interior lining

Charming black monogram to each end for a J.R.

This is a delightful antique country gentleman's suitcase, perfect for a trip in period from a rural residence to the big city. As useful today as over a hundred years ago, or presenting as a superb room accent. Delivered ready to enjoy.
