Description:
This is a good quality small antique English Victorian solid pine trunk, boasting a lovely mellow colour, with a rustic finish, circa 1880, in excellent original condition. The trunk has been wax-polished by hand, in our workshop, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard. The trunk is constructed with a plank lid, with a joined box below. The lid is secured with a metal chain to enable it stay open unaided. The original lid features a straight edge and retains its original brass butt hinges. The interior is clean, dry and practical and functional. The interior also retains its original floorboards and backboards. The trunk also retains its original steel working lock (with key). The sides retain the original steel carrying handles. The trunk stands on its original plinth moulded base. The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floor.
