Antique Trunk #715

Beautiful 1880s Flat Top, Medium Size Trunk with Top & Front Leatherette Center Band, Leather Straps, Working Lock & Key

Once again, we love restoring such a quality-built trunk. The craftsmanship is to be admired! The warm wood tone and darker trim complement each other. The condition of all the original hardware is amazing.

This trunk is very similar to our Trunk #708, except this one has a flat top and darker straps compared to the very slight curve of Trunk #708.
