Trunk #5-Antique Wicker Frame Trunk From
1880s W/Oil Cloth Covering, Original Working Solid Brass Lock W/Key
| Wicker frame trunks are
quite hard to find these days since few have survived their travels. Their
original intent was light weight but they weren't very strong. This one has
been well cared for. Note the beautiful and extremely rare suspended lock.
It's solid brass, very decorative, original and still works. An antique key
is provided. Patent dates of May, 1870 and September, 1887 are etched into
the lock. The lock was made by the Star Lock Works which was established in
Philadelphia in 1869 (formerly C. Liebrich, an early American locksmith who
started in 1836). Inside the trunk is the original maker's label of George B. Bains and Sons,
a successful trunk maker in Philadelphia for many years. Inside also are the
original straps to hold clothes in place. The wicker frame is covered by an
oil cloth exterior which has been treated and preserved. In fact all we've
done is clean and preserve the trunk then replace the leather handle and
straps. We left the initials of a previous owner of long ago on the ends. This is a
nice size that will fit into just about any decor.
Imagine it at the foot of a bed, in a foyer, in front of a bay window, no
matter where, you'll love it. If you want an elegant piece of history with a few cubic feet of
lockable storage
space, then don't hesitate to call or email us. This is the only trunk of
