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
