A beautiful pine trunk with thick oak or chestnut slats which would make a great coffee or side table. It measures 30" wide by 19 1/2" tall by 17" deep. It is circa 1890 to 1900 and is complete with the original hardware including the lock and working key, hinges, latches, handle holders, and bottom rollers. There are small metal rollers in the bottom slats that are still in great shape. I have made a special replacement wooden tray of solid cedar boards, which is very attractive and aromatic. This would be wonderful for blanket or clothes storage. The rest of the trunk interior is lined with fabric of blue shades which coordinates with colors in the original Victorian print in the lid. The print is a hunting scene and can be seen in one of the detailed pictures below. The handles are replaced with heavy stitched leather handles, dyed to look more original. There are the natural signs of age as with most early trunks, such as a couple very thin cracks, but nothing that detracts from it's beauty and the trunk is very strong. The trunk has a final finish of hand rubbed satin tung oil which is water resistant and a very smooth antique look.
