Vintage Wood & Metal Trunk
Note - The cat is in the photo to act as my size reference. Unfortunately she's not included in this sale and neither are any of the items in the background of any of the images. Apologies, I really like my cat.
---
A dark, almost black, wooden trunk with metal corners and a lock (unfortunately without a key) and carrying handles. Would be a good end table with some storage capacity
This case measures (external):
L: 37cm
W: 45.5cm
H: 35cm
It was formerly used to house tools and shows its use on the interior, but is a solid box.
It's previously had some woodworm in its life, although that's long gone now (I've had it for about 2 months and kept an eye on it). This has been treated for woodworm in the time I've owned it.
The label and the lining to me scream victorian, but I'm struggling to place a time on this one.
The label on the interior reads:
BO.T OF J.AS HELYAR.
Trunk Portmanteau
AND PACKING CASE
Maker
No.18 UNION PASSAGE.
