Old Painted Wooden Carriage Trunk

This is a characterful and rustic old trunk dating to the 19th century. Made of pine this piece was once used as a small travelling trunk for carriage journeys but could now be used as a tool chest in a workshop or perhaps a keepsake box, ideal for stowing away small treasures. The outside of the box has an old glossy brown painted finish which has worn and aged over time, there is part of an old luggage label to one end. The top is fitted with a lift up lid which opens to reveal remnants of decorative floral lining paper. We have varnished the interior to seal the paper and prevent further losses. One end has a carrying handle, the other handle has been lost somewhere in time. The chest measures 36cms high x 85cms wide x 41cms deep Measurements taken at the widest points. It is generally in solid well used condition with many marks of age and use. There are old inactive wood worm holes here and there and the trunk has been patched near the front. The interior currently smells of varnish, this will fade over time. Please take a look at the photos to get an idea of its rustic condition. Delivery to mainland U.K. is £15.00.
