This Georgian style hide trunk from 1890 is manufactured by Alfred T. Morris in the United Kingdom. Covered in a warm brown natural hide with a domed top, it includes iron studding, diamond stud motifs, and a central iron lockplate. Further details comprise dark metal framing bands around the lid and base edges, side drop handles for lifting, and small block feet supporting the base. Signs of age appear as surface wear, patches of discoloration on the hide, and darker patina on the metal hardware. The trunk measures 39 cm high, 58 cm wide, and 41 cm deep. Suitable for use in a bedroom placed at the foot of the bed, the trunk provides enclosed storage for blankets, linens, or personal items. It functions well in a hallway, living room, or study as an accent piece or a low side table surface. The proportions make it easy to position beneath a window or against a wall while adding period character to traditional interior settings.

FAQs

Hide-covered trunks were widely used throughout the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries as durable travel luggage, designed to repel moisture and endure overland journeys by coach or ship.

These trunks typically feature a wooden carcass bound in natural animal hide or cowhair leather, fastened with iron or brass studded tacks and reinforced with metal corner brackets.

Authentic period examples exhibit hand-forged ironwork, hand-cut brass or iron tacks, historic wear or hair loss consistent with age, and traditional joinery within the timber interior.

Place the trunk at the foot of a bed, beneath a window, or as a distinctive centrepiece in a living room to introduce textural warmth and historical contrast.

Keep the trunk away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent the hide from drying or shedding, and dust gently using a dry soft brush.
