Here is an Exceptionally Beautiful
American Wooden Flat Top Travel Trunk from the late 19th Century.
The oak slats with the wonderful silver patina buttons compliment
the solid pine wood which has a rich Reddish Patina. This Trunk
really showcases the superb construction by the master craftsmen of
the time. This trunk has been refinished at LegacyTrunks.com,
and is very strong and solid. The interior has been stripped to
eliminate any musty odor, then cleaned inside and out, hand-sanded,
and finished with multiple hand rubbed layers of Beeswax, and Lemon
oil. The inside of the lid has been relined with a rich striped
upholstery (please look at the photos) Black paint was used on the
outside metal trim, all latches, and corner trim. It comes with a
solid lock, but unfortunately we do not have a key. This trunk is in
very good condition except for some normal wear and signs of age.
Once again, The color is rich! The hardware is original. This chest
is very solid and well built and should hold up for another 100
years to continue its Legacy. This would make a Great table, Coffee
table or accent piece for the foot of a bed. The box measures 35
inches long, 20 inches wide, 21 and inches tall.
