Hard to Find European Beveled Top Trunk with Zinc metal covering, wood slats, decorative hardware, and front leather strap closures. This type of trunk is perfect for many styles of decor, and highly sought after. | |||||||
This Zinc covered Rare beveled top trunk is
a real beauty. Simple Elegance in very solid well built construction makes
this one special. Made in Europe in the 1869 time frame (dated by the
lock), this one has been cleaned to the zinc finish (a nice bluish/gray
patina), and the wood slats and interior all sanded to a smooth finish,
and re-stained with a warm mahogany / walnut stain mixture. The front
leather straps and buckles have been replaced with vintage leather to look
like the original top sections. The side handles have been replaced with
high quality reproduction large style handles. All the hardware is Very
well built and substantial. We only see very few of these, and almost
never in this condition. This will be great to use in multiple decorating
situations, French country, Classic country, old world, western, etc.
Circa 1869 Dimensions 33 1/2"L X 20"W X 21 1/2"H |
