FAQs

A fitted steamer wardrobe trunk is an upright piece of travel luggage designed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to open vertically, housing internal drawers, hanging rails, and compartments for sea voyages or long train journeys.

Cabin trunks were constructed using a lightweight wooden casing bound with heavy canvas, leather, or vulcanised fibre, reinforced with brass or iron brass-plated corner braces, metal studs, and heavy locking mechanisms.

Authentic pieces feature riveted metal edging, heavy brass or iron hardware, leather carrying handles, vertical latching mechanisms, and internal fittings such as wooden coat hangers and cloth-lined drawers.

An upright wardrobe trunk can be displayed partially open in a dressing room or hallway as a unique storage feature, or kept closed in a study or living area as an architectural accent piece.

Dust the exterior casing regularly with a soft brush, condition leather handles with dedicated leather balm, and gently clean metal fittings with a dry cloth, avoiding harsh liquid cleaners on aged canvas coatings.
