Antique Flat-Top Steamer Trunk on Casters – Gold Tone Hardware
This antique flat-top steamer trunk likely dates to the early 20th century and showcases a distinctive blue-painted wooden body accented with black slats and iron hardware in a warm gold-tone finish. The trunk is set on casters for easy mobility and retains its original leather side handles, with one rear handle loose. Decorative brass-plated corner caps, latches, and lock plates highlight its classic travel-era craftsmanship, and portions of the original leather straps remain. Inside, the trunk is lined in its original woven-paper material in a golden-brown tone, displaying the authentic wear of decades of use. The flat-top design was favored for stackability during travel, making this piece both practical and stylish in its time.
This trunk offers vintage character, historical charm, and versatile function—whether as a collectible travel relic, storage solution, or decorative statement in the home. Similar painted and gold-hardware examples are sought-after for their visual appeal and period authenticity.
