An Unusual 19th Century Storage Trunk

19th century

Sold by Waterfall Antiques

Description

A most unusual wedge-shaped mid-to-late 19th century storage trunk in hardwood – most probably teak – with end elevations of tapering form. The lid, with its restraining chain to keep it upright when in use, opens on its two hinges to reveal a single storage compartment. Its shape cleverly lends itself to acting as a display plinth, but would equally double as a small low table. This eyecatching storage box – its original purpose unknown – is English, c.1860s/c.1880s, and has its original finish with a good rich colour. There is a working lock and key.
