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.

Studded leather trunks emerged predominantly in the 18th and early 19th centuries as heavy-duty travel containers. Wood structures were covered in leather or hide to repel moisture, while brass studs were driven in to secure the seams and provide decorative detailing or owner monograms.

These pieces typically feature a solid pine or oak inner frame wrapped in vegetable-tanned hide or leather. Iron or brass lock plates, side carrying handles, and hand-hammered brass tacks or studs complete the outer construction.

Authentic pieces exhibit irregular spacing on hand-driven brass studs, original iron or brass key escutcheons, and natural patination or surface craquelure on the leather. Inspecting the interior wood framing for hand-sawn timber marks and period joinery also confirms authenticity.

A studded leather trunk serves effectively as a textured accent piece in contemporary or traditional schemes. It functions well positioned at the foot of a bed, utilised as a low coffee table, or placed in an entryway to provide concealed storage.

Keep the item away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the leather from drying or cracking. Dust gently with a soft microfibre cloth and apply a specialised leather wax polish sparingly to preserve moisture and tone.
