A beautiful antique steamer trunk or antique chest. Also known as a monitor trunk, from the late 1800’s. This old trunk was once a travel trunk but now it's ready to be your storage chest, treasure chest or treasure trunk. These antique trunks can make a really cool coffee table trunk, or end table trunk, nestled between a pair of bucket chairs! This particular antique steamer trunk, is a nice, more durable alternative, to a leather trunk, and having a similar look, it's basically a wooden trunk, covered in tin.
These trunks also make great keepsake gifts, heirloom gifts etc. I've sold quite a few for anniversary gifts, retirement gifts, especially popular for retirement from the military gift.

This steamer trunk is refinished, or refurbished, has had the wood slats refinished, in walnut, then top coated with polyurethane. Original metal hardware has been painted black and partially buffed bright. The crocodile tin is done in browns and blacks. The remainder of the body, on this Vintage steamer trunk, is patinas of the past.
This vintage trunk has new, custom black leather handles, and 3 new hinges, there are a couple of extra holes, on the back (see picture). At some point, someone also added a generic hasp, in place of the original hasp. I’ve painted it to make it blend in better, this antique travel chest has no key, but could accommodate a padlock.
Interior, of this vintage trunk chest, is stripped and sanded, and ready for your finishing touches, though it is useable just the way it is. These antique steamer trunks are a great keepsake gift, add decoupage, of photo copies of family photos, old love letters, sheet music, family recipes, children’s art, etc. it’s a blank canvas! If you’re not familiar, with the process, I’d be happy to guide you.
The interior, of this old trunk, old chest can also be stained, painted, upholstered, or decoupaged to your specifications, by me, for an added charge. Though it is useable, just the way it is.
