This extraordinary solid wood travel trunk with iron reinforcements is a genuine relic from the past, most likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. Its structure shows clear signs of wear that do not detract from its charm but instead enhance its history and originality.
The curved lid and sturdy metal hinges suggest it was used extensively, possibly as a transport or shipping trunk. The wood has retained its natural tone, enriched by scratches, abrasions, and stains that speak of journeys, places, and people. Details such as studs, corner reinforcements, and wrought iron handles complete its authentic, timeworn look.
An ideal piece for lovers of industrial or wabi-sabi aesthetics, perfect for rustic, eclectic interiors or theatrical settings. It can be used as a low coffee table, accent storage trunk, or collectible decorative item. A trunk that doesn’t hide its age but proudly celebrates it.
