Large Curved Top Trunk
Original Painted Canvas & Interior
New Tray
Circa 1925
SOLD

Measuring 37"L X 25"H X 23.5"W, this is a large size trunk that would have been made in the early
1900's. It is in remarkable condition with its original painted canvas and interior lining. The lining is a
green tone of some sort and is patterned with leaves.  Unfortunately, the original tray is missing so I
am including a nice wood tray. This trunk has apparently always been well maintained and never
under any great stress. It has an abundance of hardware which is in wonderful shape. Much of it
still has some of the original brass plating while other pieces, especially toward the bottom, has lost
it but still cleaned up and left with its natural patina. The latches work perfectly. The canvas itself is
in A+ condition with a slight variation in color that can be noticed on the very top. The middle strip
running long ways is slightly different toned and provides some contrast. The original handles are
still in great shape and I have added some new leather straps. A finish was applied over the outside
and other then slight wear as to be expected, there are no issues with this trunk at all.
I will give the buyer the option of a tray built of pine and birch stained golden oak, or
darker stained similar as shown. The tray will come with small leather lift tabs on each
end for easy removal. Just let me know the tray color after purchase.
