Inside View of Beautiful Flat Top
(Sold)
New Lining, Nearly Identical to Original
Another compromise turns out well. When we find a flat top trunk covered in
canvas, the first thing we must decide is whether the canvas is good enough to
leave on or must it come off. Must we sacrifice part of the the history of the
trunk to make the trunk look beautiful again? There simply was no choice on this
one since the majority of the canvas was gone entirely. The good side of this
happening is that after many hours of hard work we end up with a trunk that is
absolutely gorgeous. The background wood of this one is very rich pine with
knots and heavy grain. The hardwood staves turned out beautifully as well.
Inside is the original deep tray and a new lining that is nearly identical to
the original. The lock works and a key is furnished. All the leather has been
replaced with new double-stitched handles, strap keepers and straps with brass roll buckles.
There's loads of storage space inside this beauty and it will make a great
coffee table or end table, fitting into just about any decor. Flat tops don't stay here long so give us a call, toll-free on 1-877-653-8786 or email us at
