FAQs

Coaching trunks from the early 18th century were specifically designed to withstand the rigorous demands of horse-drawn travel and stagecoach journeys, protecting personal belongings from weather and rough handling.

These trunks were typically constructed with a sturdy wooden core, covered in animal hide or leather such as deer skin, and reinforced with hand-beaten iron straps, bands, and brass or iron studs.

Authentic pieces feature period-correct construction methods, including hand-forged ironwork, hand-cut joinery, natural hide patination, and handmade wrought iron locks rather than modern machine-made fasteners.

An antique trunk can be utilised as a functional coffee table, placed at the foot of a bed for extra blanket storage, or styled atop a console table to add historic texture and tactile contrast to a contemporary living space.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, gently dusting with a dry microfibre cloth, and avoiding harsh modern chemical cleaners to maintain the natural integrity of the historic hide.
