Lot #1523:
ANTIQUE HINGED LID WOOD TRAVELING TRUNK
C. 1850-1880. An antique wooden traveling trunk featuring a hinged lid and original decorative floral paper-lined interior. The trunk is constructed of plank wood, likely pine, with remnants of original exterior paint. The interior retains early floral paper lining, commonly used in mid-1800s trunks for clothing and personal storage. The simple construction, plank boards, and painted surface suggest a primitive or country-made example, possibly American or European provincial. Heavy surface and paint wear, interior paper losses, and wood shrinkage consistent with age; structurally sound with strong primitive character and patina.
Item Dimensions: 31 - 3/4" x 17" x 18".
