A unqiue, nice and solid, tight trunk which would be perfect as a coffee table. Originally covered in canvas with remnants saved for the new owner. All exterior canvas and interior paper coverings were removed, trunk scrubbed and sanded. Two of the lift out trays are original and a third needed to be replaced with a new handcrafted tray. |

We all romanticize about the mystique of these antique trunks. The possible owners and travels that each steamer trunk has taken, along with the high level of detailed craftsmanship in the original production of each and every steamer trunk with that individualized character giving both intrinsic and non-intrinsic value. |
It was a common practice that loyal and productive craftsmen would be allowed to bring their children to work with them to learn a craft, so many of the children in this photograph were more than likely sons of the men shown. |
