This rare small antique steamer trunk features an unusual fully embossed tin exterior, rich walnut-stained wood slats, and ornate original hardware, giving it exceptional Victorian character in a compact size. Once used as a 19th century travel trunk, this authentic vintage chest has been professionally refinished and now works beautifully as a keepsake trunk, low coffee table trunk, sewing chest, memory box, or decorative storage chest. Its smaller proportions and intricate crosshatched tin pattern make it especially desirable among collectors and interior designers looking for authentic antique trunks with distinctive architectural presence.
This is a small vintage trunk, with a flat top, covered in embossed crosshatched tin. This one is more unusual, because it’s entirely covered in embossed tin, no smooth tin like most of them. It’s also unusual in size, this could have been a youth trunk or a salesman sample, but I’m leaning towards a youth trunk.

Wood slats are stained in dark walnut and black paint for a black shabby look, and topped with polyurethane . Hardware on this vintage trunk chest antique travel trunk, has also been buffed bright.
