Box Trunk vintage Blanket box

Measures 58cm x 58cm x 50cm high, originally made from pine, covered with leather and reinforced with studs, metal straps and heavy metal carry handles.  This trunk looks like it has travelled the world.  It has been used as a blanket box in our family since the 70’s but is certainly is way older.

It’s no pristine example, there are plenty of wood worn holes, the leather is cracked away from the sides even since we had it (although it is good on top) and it was certainly not made by a master craftsman.  It has been added to in order to maintain serviceability over the years so locks and hinges are not original but it is sturdy, strong and opens and closes on demand.

It’s a period piece of luggage, full of character, that has certainly seen more harassment than anything that has gone through Heathrow’s terminal 5 and a good many years before air travel even existed.

Bid on it if you’d like an interesting coffee table or blanket box with character.  Don’t bid if you’re flying via terminal 5 and expect that this box has any more chance of appearing at the other end than anything else.

The box is very big so UK bidders only and buyer will need to collect.

Thanks for looking
