This is a
beautiful Flat Top metal covered trunk made by Detlohf trunk makers in
Denver, Colorado. This trunk has been refinished in Black with Gold
accents, and a wonderful Golden stain on the wood slats. The interior
has been hand waxed with a high quality orange oil beeswax, and looks
and smells wonderful. These trunks are hard to find in good condition
as many have rusted over time and not survived well through the years.
We only restore certain metal covered trunks, and this one is much
nicer than most we have seen, so we couldn't pass it up. The hardwood
slats have beautiful wood grain and are refinished with a smooth
finish. The metal is all in great shape with no rust holes, missing
pieces or other damage. The leather handles are replacements to look
like the originals, and we made nesw straps with the original buckles.
The metal bottom is very clean, repainted, and has the original wood
slats. The Hardware is very decorative, and the lock is original (we
do not have the key) With it's great size, it's present day uses are
many. This trunk is now ready to go to your home to be a wonderful
conversation piece. Ca.1880-1895Dimensions 35"L X 21"W X 24"H |
