THIS IS A VERY IMPOSING TRUNK IN A HARD TO FIND SIZE AND IS MADE FROM BASSWOOD (VERY RARE FOR THIS GENRE OF TRUNK) WITH BEAUTIFUL WELL PATINATED MIXED HARDWOOD SLATS. IT IS IRON BOUND WITH DECORATIVE ROSETTES AND COMES WITH A WORKING LOCK, AND KEY. THIS TRUNK IS EVEN COLORED AND CLEAN FOR IT'S AGE. IT COMES COMPLETE WITH AN INSERT TRIMMED TO MATCH.

THE TRUNK HAS BEEN PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED WITH AN EXCELLENT FURNITURE GRADE FINISH, AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION EXCEPT FOR SOME WEAR AND SIGNS OF AGE WHICH WERE LEFT UNIMPROVED TO PRESERVE THE ANTIQUE CHARACTER. THE INTERIOR IS TASTEFULLY RESTORED WITH PAPER, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THIS CHEST IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND SHOULD HOLD UP FOR YEARS TO COME.

I MAY OPT FOR A COMPLETE RESTORATION, OR I MAY CHOOSE TO PRESERVE THE ORIGINALITY OF THE THE ANTIQUE. IN SOME CASES I WILL COMPLETELY RE-INVENT A PIECE. MOST TRUNKS CHOSEN WILL BE FROM THE LATE VICTORIAN ERA FROM THE CIVIL WAR TO ABOUT 1895. THIS IS MY CRAFT AND OFTEN MY ART WHICH I HAVE DEVOTED NEARLY 40 YEARS TO PERFECTING. I WILL STAND BEHIND THE QUALITY OF MY WORK AND ALWAYS PLACE MY PATRONS IN HIGH ESTEEM. I HAVE NO SET SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING MY PIECES. EACH ONE IS ASSESSED FOR IT'S FINEST QUALITIES AND THEN I USE MY ARTISTIC LICENCE TO HOPEFULLY BRING THOSE QUALITIES INTO THE LIGHT. IF YOU ARE SIMPLY LOOKING FOR A REFINISHED TRUNK YOU CAN CERTAINLY FIND ONE CHEAPER. BUT PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THAT YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I INVITE CLOSE SCRUTINY AND COMPARISON TO OTHERS. IF YOU APPRECIATE MY WORK AND CHOOSE TO INVEST IN MY TRUNKS I AM SURE THAT YOU WILL RECIEVE OUTSTANDING VALUE AND SATISFACTION. ALSO PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT I DO NOT DESTROY THE VALUE OF AN ANTIQUE TRUNK BY THESE PROCESSES. IF AN ITEM HAS EQUAL OR GREATER VALUE IN IT'S ORIGINAL STATE IT WILL BE PRESERVED THAT WAY, IT WOULD BE FOOLISH TO DO OTHERWISE. read more
