A Decorative Late Victorian Pink Painted Pine Trunk c.1900
SOLD
Origin: British
Period: Late-Victorian
Provenance: Unknown
Date: c.1900
Depth: 17.25”
Width: 28.25”
Height: 19.5”
The dusty pink painted pine travelling trunk or blanket box having a vacant interior with its original iron carrying handles and hinges, the whole on railed feet for ease of travel, with a wonderful patina and texture to its surfaces and surviving from the zeniths of the nineteenth century.
This trunk has some obvious signs of use: there are old scratches and the paintwork has naturally distressed in the appropriate areas with a superb craquelure. The iron swing handles are present and working, with a small amount of loss to the mouldings and she was clearly a well-loved, well-travelled, versatile and essential item of Victorian times.
Trunks date back to pre-medieval times and were made in a large variety of shapes and sizes and from many different materials. The rail feet to the bottom of the piece allows it to be pulled around far easier for travel.
A refreshing change of colourway; a shade rarely seen for beautifully time-worn period paint.
