This is a good quality antique English Georgian pine trunk, boasting stunning original patination and scumbling, circa 1800, in excellent original condition. The trunk is constructed with a two-plank top, with a dovetailed joined box below. The original lid features a moulded edge and retains its original iron strap hinges. The interior is clean, dry and practical and usable. The interior also retains its original floorboards, backboards and internal candle box.

The trunk features a moulded frieze and the whole stands on its original Georgian bracket feet. The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floor. Overall, this trunk boasts a lovely deep rich scumbled finish, colour and patination.
This item would look great in a variety of rooms from the hallway, to the living room or bedroom as an ottoman or blanket box at the foot of the bed.
This beautiful piece boasts a red-brown colour. As it boasts the original polish, it has a fantastic colour and patination; this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
