Vintage Canvas Trunk Steamer Chest Coffee Table Blanket Box
Vintage Canvas Trunk Steamer Chest Coffee Table Blanket Box Display Shop Fitting Fabulous vintage trunk which dates to the early twentieth century, which would have originally served as a travel/steamer chest. The trunk is constructed of wood and canvas and is reinforced with riveted bands and shaped metal corner caps. The lid is hinged in three places for strength and has two side locks to the front and a folding central catch. Also at the front is a black swing handle. As with most trunks of this era the inside has been lined with paper. (There is also an old clothing label mysteriously adhered to the inside of the lid, which we have left as part of its history.) The trunk displays the usual signs of age and use, which is part of its vintage character. There is some damage to the wooden trims inside the trunk, and one section is missing, but this does not impede its structural integrity and could be repaired or removed as suits. The trunk is large and capacious, perfect for stowing things away. It could also be used as a blanket box, as a box at the foot of a bed for storing clothes or bedding and, of course, as a coffee/wine table. Here are the approximate dimensions, carefully taken: Height: 11 ¼ inches {28cm} Width: 30 inches {76cm} Depth: 17 ¾ inches {45cm} Read More
