The Sustainable Choice

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.

FAQs

A coaching trunk was a heavy-duty travelling chest designed for carriage transport during the 18th and 19th centuries, constructed with a solid wooden core wrapped in protective leather and reinforced with brass fittings.

These pieces were built using a sturdy pine or hardwood structure, wrapped in thick cowhide leather, and bound with brass banding, studs, corner plates, and side carrying handles.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-hammered brass studs, original keyhole escutcheons, hand-stitched leather seams, and age-consistent wear such as natural patina and surface craquelure on the hide.

A leather coaching trunk serves effectively as a central coffee table in a living area, an accent piece placed at the foot of a bed, or functional storage within an entryway or study.

Keep the piece away from direct heat sources and prolonged sunlight to prevent drying, apply specialized leather nourishers periodically, and clean brass fittings with a soft dry cloth to preserve natural oxidisation.
