This is the finest example of this kind of trunk I have ever seen, the chap I had restore it for me is an absolute genius, he specialises in these types of trunks and its easy to see why he is so renowned. This piece is classed as a stencil monogram, it has a streel trim, brass hard wear and dates as mentioned to 1920.
This is of course a wardrobe trunk, it can be used the traditional way laying flat for display or standing for function, it is completely original, every single brass stud is stamped Louis Vuitton, the lock
...reads “70 Champs Elysee Paris, Louis Vuitton, London 149 New Bond Street” with “Made in France” and the serial number 047266 on the locking plate. The leather strap mounts read “Paris Louis Vuitton London”, The original trade label inside reads “Asnieres s/seine Louis Vuitton Paris_70 Champs Elysees, Nice_4 Jardin Public, Lille_34 Rue Faidherbe, London_149 New Bond St”. The leather handles, brass locks, all the hangers, everything is original and stamped as well.
This piece as mentioned has been fully restored on the outside, the internals as ever has been left totally original and untouched. The work to the outside has been extensive, the case has been completely washed back taking off the years of travel dirt, the timber washed back waxed and polished, all the studs and brass work burnished and polished, the steel work painted black and then the whole thing sealed. This piece is ready to go for another 100 years.
There are some areas of wear externally as with all these pieces, usually from loading and unloading, there are some small holes in the monogram cover, general patination all over as you would hope (and expect) based on honest age and genuine use.
