Please email if you have any questions on any item. We are very picky about the condition of trunks we purchase to bring you only the best! If interested additional pictures can be emailed to you upon request. Note: Since these trunks are very old and have seen much use, there are certainly the expected signs of age, but none that detract from their usefulness or beauty. Many hours of work go into every restoration job and to maintain the historical authenticity of each trunk to the extent possible. If reproduction parts are used on a trunk, it will be noted. I have trunks that were lined almost 30 years ago and they still look great.
This fabric lining holds up very well and will look great indefinitely. Trunks are cleaned out and relined with attractive, quality fabric, ready to use anywhere in your home. Wood is sanded when necessary for a smooth finish and has several coats of finish, ending with a hand-rubbed durable satin gloss tung oil finish (the finish preferred by professionals for fine antiques). Other metal is cleaned and repainted or coated to prevent rust. All brass is carefully cleaned and coated with clear lacquer to prevent tarnish. Unless otherwise noted: All handles are replaced with original style, heavy, dyed leather handles (most are multi-layered stitched).
Our trunks are carefully restored and refinished with only high quality materials and finishes. Has been featured in the cover articles of the Antique Journalmagazine and Cotton and Quailantiques guide.
