Trunk #11-Very Handsome 1890s Flat Top W/Original Covering
 

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? The choice for this one was easy since the outside fabric was still in very good condition. We cleaned it well and resealed the canvas. The grain in the hardwood staves turned out beautifully. We've replaced the leather handles with new double-stitched ones, the straps & keepers with genuine leather ones and brass roller buckles, and of course the new lining. The leather straps are finished off nicely with keeper/knees at the bottom. These serve to hold the ends of the straps and reinforce the joint between the bottom and the front of the trunk. This beauty is a fairly large flat top with plenty of storage space inside and it will make a great coffee table or end table, fitting into just about any decor. We found this one in Ohio while on another trunk-hunting expedition.
