Antique brass bound teak merchants trunk
This Antique brass bound teak trunk would have been made in the last quarter of the 19th century.
Made of teak, a timber that is resistant to salt water which is an advantage, as this would have been transported on sailing ships to the Dutch colonies in India, Sri Lanka and beyond for the use of a wealthy merchant or diplomat.
It is strengthened for the rigours of heavy use and for protection as a strong box by having the brass bound corners and straps.
At each end there is an iron and brass carrying handle, that is decorative as well as being important when it was being lifted with its heavy contents.
To the top there is the owners brass name plate engraved J.LVan Whye, with some research you may be able to find some interesting history.
This makes a fantastic must have for your home, that is a lifetime purchase and an amazing conversation piece that will spark the imagination of young and older generations.
