Description:
This is a good quality antique English Victorian solid pine trunk, retaining the original scumble finish, with a lovely grain configuration, circa 1860, in excellent original condition.
Constructed with a simple single plank top, front and sides, which display a lovely grain configuration through the original painted scumble finish. The interior is clean, dry, practical and usable. The lid retains its original steel butt hinges, which are in good working condition. The interior retains the original candle box, with lid, also retaining its original floorboards and backboards. The trunk also retains its original steel working lock (with working key). The sides also retain the original steel carrying handles, which display foliate shaping and detail on a perforated background. The trunk bottom stands on a moulded plinth. The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floorboards and two “skids” which allow it to marginally stand clear of the floor. The trunk has been wax-polished by hand (over the original scumble finish), 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.
