Offered by: FINCH hudson

Description
A bit outside of our normal offering - but couldn't resist this amazing piece of history. From the golden age of travel comes this early 1900s steamer trunk - associated with upper class grand ocean liners, luxury trains, and the sophisticated lifestyle of those who could afford such indulgences. This version made in Rio de Janeiro by Fonseca Seixas with a seriously strong construction covered on the outside in leather and brass fittings - history written into every scratch. Inside is six numbered drawers with leather pulls on the left and an open space on the right with original hangers and straps.   Manufacturer label to the interior. Brazil.
