Original Antique MARIMTIME CUBAN MAHOGANY NAVAL OFFICERS CABIN TRUNK c.1840.  A very nice & original antique naval mahogany trunk, the wood having a really very nice age patina to it, the lid I was advised when the trunk was renovated has been made from one large piece of Cuban Mahogany, the restorers also thought it was probably commissioned by a Naval Officer when actually in Cuba, in the early to mid 1800's or possibly even earlier, inside it is divided into 2 areas by a wood divider, one been smaller.  The hinges & front brass fitting have probably been replaced at a later date, but do still have some age to them & over the years the trunk has had several repairs, it has rope handles to each end (one of the ropes has broken/snapped, but could be repaired if so desired), it stands on four wood feet to each corner (see photos for more on its detail & conditions). 

Approx. sizes 40-1/2" (mm) long x 17-1/2" (51mm) high x 19-3/4" (85mm) deep, shows use & age wear, has some cracks to the rear side possibly from where it has been stood in front of a fire place, with a smaller crack to the front side, there are some dinks & knocks to several places, but overall the trunk is in GC for its age (again see the photos for more on these conditions).  Collection only due to size & weight, but could possibly deliver to southeast England - southside M25 for £65, northside M25 £78.00, please ask for quotes. 

I have many other interesting vintage & military items in my other auctions, early vintage sailing/shipping books over the coming months, many are rare & 1st editions, also maps/charts etc. so please do have a look.
