This antique trunk from Hill & Millard Ltd. is a one-of-a-kind item that will add a unique touch of Victorian charm to any room. AUTHENTIC AND ORIGINAL. Crafted from genuine leather with an embossed design, this trunk features brass handles and buckles with straps for a secure closure. Measuring 17.5 inches in length, 13.5 inches in width, and 11.5 inches in height, it is perfect for display, storage, and decoration.

The trunk was originally manufactured in the United Kingdom during the Victorian era (1837-1901) and has been well-preserved for collectors of rare and original items. One brass buckle is missing from the left side, but other than that, it is in amazing condition! No key but locks and unlocks with no problems! Absolutely stunning and fuctional! The solid pattern, square shape, and brown color make it a versatile piece that can complement any interior design. Whether used as a coffee table or as a decorative storage solution, this trunk is a must-have for any antique furniture collector or collector overall. This is the perfect Ralph Lauren look found in magazines. You will not come across another one like it. Well taken care of and a piece of history!

Hill & Millard are rightly celebrated as one of the best names in Victorian campaign furniture, and there is little doubt that the manufacturing side of it came from Richard Millard. Their work is of high quality and their designs, although many conformed to the other London makers, also showed clever innovation. If Millard is to be believed, he was also largely responsible for the business side of it. However, he may never have left Allen if it wasn't for Henry Hill and so both should be recognised for their contribution to campaign furniture.

The official start date of the company is noted in court documents as the 1st of January 1854, although the pair had been organising the partnership and premises the year before. They described themselves as Naval, Military and General Outfitters, Portmanteau, Traveling and Dressing Case Manufacturers.
