Antique Steel-Clad Dome-Top Steamer Trunk, 19th Century
This 19th-century dome-top steamer trunk features a steel-clad exterior with embossed panels, wooden slats, and iron hardware. The curved top and decorative metalwork reflect the craftsmanship of its era, while remnants of the original patterned paper lining remain visible inside. Once a durable piece of travel luggage, it now serves as a strong decorative statement or a potential restoration project.
Solid in structure yet richly distressed from age and use, the trunk embodies the character of historic travel goods. Its patina, wear, and surviving details make it a distinctive piece for display in vintage, rustic, or industrial interiors.
Condition:
Solid overall but in distressed condition. Handles are missing, the lock is nonfunctional, and there is notable wear across wood, metal, and interior lining. Age-appropriate surface losses and rust are present, but the trunk remains sturdy and visually compelling.
Dimensions:
23 1/2" H x 34" W x 20" D
