A simple, elegant piece displaying a well-aged, well-traveled patina. Numerous marks, scrapes, scratches, fading, and other losses to the straps and leather. Spots of rust staining to the interior sections. The stand appears later, custom-made in pine and stained a darker color. Faint monogram at the top center.

The trunk retains original Peninsular & Oriental Steam Navigation stickers. The locking mechanism appears jammed and thus does not close properly, which holds the locking flap up high. No key. Loss of one latching strap to the left side. Leather has been lightly cleaned and oiled due to its extremely dry condition. It could be further restored as desired.

A wonderful use as a small side table or simply display.

Dimensions as shown, which include the stand. Approximately 20" tall overall including the strap height. The trunk itself is approximately 10.5" tall. less
