An Exceptionally Rare George I, Leather and Brass Trunk

18th century
Description

This piece is dated 1725 and has been used for just short of 3 centuries and given its purpose was to move personal items, it is a remarkable survivor. The trunk was clearly commissioned and owned by someone of considerable wealth, the dated plaque on the front of the lid is in the form of a crown suggesting that its owner was possibly nobility. It is constructed in deal and is covered in leather with finely worked brass straps, lock plates and hasps. The only additions are the feet which, although having been added in the 19th century, have contributed to the trunks preservation. 760mm high, 1020mm wide and 620mm deep. Date 1725
