The heritage finish on this trunk includes scuffing to the canvas in places, fraying to the leather piping around the edge of the trunk body, bowing to lid in centre from age and use and some staining to interior commensurate with age. One of the base runners is missing a section of wood and leather end reinforcing, does not affect function, still sits level. The other oak runner is cracked and has been repaired with a pin at some point in its history.

At Vintage Trunks & Chests we have ten years experience curating, restoring & selling antique and vintage trunks & chests. We sell genuine antiques, not imported reproductions!! Working with meticulous attention to detail our restorations are completed using traditional, time-honoured methods and everything is finished in numerous coats of wax polish to naturally enhance, revive & protect the original patina.

Authentic antique & vintage items, unlike new copies and imported reproduction antiques, have their own quirks & imperfections which is what gives them their character, uniqueness & that 'lived in' quality.. that's what we're all about here at VTC! Notable quirks are outlined & the photos are integral to the description. Please see our T+Cs for further info :)
