Inside Views of 1890s Flat Top Trunk

1890s Antique Flat Top Trunk, just Right for a Coffee Table, New Lining

This flat top was a lot of work but it was worth it. First the canvas covering had to go, too far gone to save. Then the wood beneath was very rough, not dressed as almost all trunks are. So this meant hours of scraping and sanding to get the finish we wanted. One unusual thing about this trunk is the handles, they are original but most trunks this type had leather handles. Also, it's one of very few we've ever seen with the handle on the front. The original lock with its brass escutcheon is still there and works. A solid brass key is furnished. Both the pine background wood and oak staves have a nice pretty grain. Flat top trunks that are truly flat are becoming harder to find all the time, in fact this is one of only a very few we have left. This one is just the height for a coffee table that would be both historic and beautiful with lots of storage space.
