This extraordinary travel trunk made of solid wood with iron reinforcements is an authentic find from the past, dating back in all probability to the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Its structure shows obvious signs of wear that do not diminish its charm, but on the contrary enhance its history and originality.
The curved lid and sturdy metal hinges suggest intensive use, probably as a transport or shipping trunk. The wood has maintained its natural shade, enriched by scratches, abrasions and stains that speak of travel, environments and people. Details such as studs, corner braces and wrought iron handles complete the lived-in and authentic look.
An ideal piece for enthusiasts of industrial or wabi-sabi objects, perfect for displaying in rustic, eclectic style environments or for scenographic settings. It can be used as a low coffee table, accent storage, or collectible decorative element. A trunk that does not hide the past, but celebrates it proudly.
