The rich brown exterior has developed considerable wear and patina through use, giving the piece the unmistakable character of genuine antique travelling luggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eParticularly appealing is the original “PARSONS” stencilling to the front and side of the trunk, almost certainly relating to a previous owner and providing a tangible connection with the piece's travelling past.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front retains its central lock plate and two decorative clasps, while carrying handles are positioned at the sides. Please note, the trunk does not lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpening the hinged lid reveals a remarkably characterful interior with its removable lift-out tray still present. Decorative floral paper trim survives around the inside of the lid, alongside the aged original lining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow well suited to contemporary interiors, this would make an excellent blanket chest, bedroom storage trunk or statement piece at the end of a bed. Its untouched appearance also makes it particularly effective simply as a decorative antique object.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Odloft","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53733963170139,"sku":null,"price":325.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1024\/1330\/4155\/files\/ChatGPTImageAug7_2026at09_18_59PM.png?v=1786133993","url":"https:\/\/odloft.com\/products\/late-victorian-dome-top-travelling-trunk-with-original-interior-tray-c-1890","provider":"Odloft","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
