This very nice dome top trunk from the 1880s has lots of nice features. The background tin is covered with the mysterious Spots in Spots pattern. We think this was achieved by using a chemical process that wore away the multi-color layered surface to varying degrees in a random fashion (in other words the metal was painted multiple colors in separate layers, then something was dripped onto it that wore through the different layers thereby exposing different color spots, some within other spots). This is one pattern that cannot be restored or replaced, so finding a trunk with the pattern in good condition is extremely fortunate. Also the random nature of the pattern means that you'll absolutely NEVER find another trunk just like it. Note that several rosettes were used on the top of the trunk and the front. The original lock still works well and a solid brass key is provided. Inside the lid of the trunk is the original lithograph of a bird-hunting scene. The oak in the hardwood staves turned out beautifully. This trunk will look very nice in a foyer, at the foot of a bed or just about anywhere. It's a fairly large trunk, longer than most this style and has lots of storage room inside. If you like it as well as everyone here then don't hesitate to call us toll-free on 1-877-653-8786 or email us at TreasuredChests@oldtrunks.com before it gets snatched up.
