19th c. Oak Trunk

France, 19th Century

$995

Antique One-Of-A-Kind Oh So French!

Every French household of the 1800s had a trunk like this somewhere - for the linens, the wedding trousseau, the things you only took out a few times in a lifetime. Found in Avignon, this 19th-century French trunk was built from oak with a flat hinged lid, a small carved escutcheon around the keyhole, and four turned bun feet lifting it just off the floor. Sylvie sets it at the foot of a bed for the blankets that come out when the nights turn cold.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

Dear collector, as with many antiques, this piece may show signs of its age, including subtle repairs, a bit of movement, cracks, scratches, small holes, and surface variation from years of use. Chest opens to an empty cavity inside. There is a small piece of the top trim missing.

All items are final sale.
