The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floor. The trunk has been French polished by hand, in our workshop, to a professional standard, therefore the colour and patination are of an excellent standard.
This item would look great in a variety of rooms from the hallway, to the living room or bedroom as a TV stand, coffee table, ottoman or blanket box at the foot of the bed etc.
This beautiful piece boasts a mellow 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.
