Rare 1880 to Early 1890's Photograph of an Antique Trunk Factory and Workers Using Albumen Silver Print Method, Mounted to a Period Board Which Dates The Photo Along with the Clothing Worn.
Note the Flatop and Two Monitor or Waterfall Trunks, Each Being Individually Unique at the Very Time of Production.

The Pirate's Lair Exclusive!
We all romanticize about the mystique of these antique trunks. The possible owners and travels that each antique trunk has taken, along with the high level of detailed craftsmanship in the original production of each and every antique trunk with that individualized character which we all desire, giving both intrinsic and non-intrinsic value.
 
However the truth of the matter is that the majority of these antique trunks were made towards the middle to end of the 19th century just at the dawning of the industrial revolution here in America when there were no child labor laws or protections. This rare photo clearly illustrates at least 3 generations of owners and workers, ages appearing to range from pre-teen/adolescent, teens/early adult, through middle to old age!
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.
 
Note the adolescent factory workers on top row! Note that there are no women in the photo! This is due to the fact that at that time "proper" women did not work outside of the home, certainly not in a factory. Everybody appears to look pretty stern, having on their arms crossed and "work" faces put on.

NO REPRODUCTIONS! ONLY AUTHENTIC 100 to 150 year old, REAL ANTIQUE TRUNKS AND VINTAGE CHESTS PERFECT NAUTICAL FURNITURE FOR THAT DISTINCTIVE WATERFRONT NAUTICAL HOME DECOR, AND MARITIME FURNITURE @ THE PIRATE'S LAIR!

Click HERE to Review our Antique Restoration Process!

So if it's Nautical Furniture with a distinct Nautical Home Decor of Master and Commander theme or Pirates of the Carirbbean decor you are seeking for your waterfront home, maritime office or as a gift, this is it! The real deal!

These antique chests and antique trunks will give the exact look and feel of real pirate chests or treasure antique chests and Pirate Furniture and are the exact type used by Buccaneers, Privateers and Pirates to store their treasure and booty! Typically when a Privateer, Buccaneer, or Pirate attacked and took over a galleon or merchantman transporting gold, silver, other treasures as well as passengers they threw out all of the garments/clothes and filled them with the items they wished to steal and then hauled the filled chests over to the pirate ship. Unfortunately afterwards the pirates normally sunk the merchant ship if it was unfit for sailing, and killed both crew and passengers! Pirates never bought anything, they stole everything - including their Pirate Furniture and Pirate Treasure Chests!

Note: Please see description and photo's as the antique chests and antique trunks are all different, no two are the same. Unless otherwise stated keys do not come with the chests. The dates of manufacture and use are estimated based upon the dates found on the hardware fittings, the hardware itself and the style of chest. Due to the age of the chests there cannot be any ascertainment of prior owners, use or documented chain of custody. Also, for the chests that do come with working locks and keys we most strongly recommend that you do NOT regularly lock the chest as the key, the lock and the locking mechanisms including any springs or slides are well over 100 years old and are brittle and possibly rusty from age. Locking and unlocking may cause irreparable damage to the chest. Also many of these chests come with "fail safe" locks where the key can only be removed from the lock when the the lock is closed securing the trunk.

liberty ship wooden hatch cover desk

Why have a handsome home or business executive office with "hum-drum ugly utilitarian steel file cabinets" when you can be outfitted with these antique 150 year old Captains Sea Chests (Domed Sea Chests and Pirate Chests), as wonderful nautical home furnishing! For that matter why settle for a nice and probably very expensive yet run-of-the-mill typical office desk when you can now have a true Captain's Desk befitting a Ship's Master and Commander. What a conversation piece either at work or at home. Our nautical themed antique hope chests, china chests and silverware chests are the perfect complement to store your U.S. Navy Tableware and Dinnerware!

The nautical furniture offered at The Pirate's Lair is by far the most unique and distinctive you will find anywhere on or off the net. Our nautical home furnishings offer more than just a nautical decor, but a slice of our Maritime History, a sense of romance and global travel, as well as honoring the ships and sailors of days gone by and the dangers they faced sailing the high seas in time of war.

sea chest open with files sea chest brown, wooden sea chest green metal sheathing
Above in detail is an all wood Nautical Domed Sea Chest with the lid open showing how the chest was refinished so as to hang file folders and store office desk accessories. That distinctive "Pirates of the Caribbean" decor and theme, but no movie reproductions here, only the real thing!

Note the beautiful brown patina that only 130 year old wood can achieve. Truly a work of art, one can only imagine how and where this Captains Sea Chest was used over the years, and who owned it. Now one can be yours, a legacy to be handed down from generation to generation!

To the very right is a close up of a Sea Chest, China Chest or Pirate Chest with green and black metal cladding with oak wood straps. Each and every Sea Chest is unique and no two are the same, probably similar to the journeys that they each have taken over a century and a half of use.
