EXQUISITE ANTIQUE CIRCA 1900 CHiNESE EXPORT CAMPHOR WOOD STEAMER LUGGAGE TRUNK

About the Item

Royal House Antiques Royal House Antiques is delighted to offer for sale this original circa 1900-1920 original Chinese Export Camphor wood and Iron steamer trunk with the original leather handles Please note the delivery fee listed is just a guide, it covers within the M25 only for the UK and local Europe only for international, if you would like an accurate quote please send me your postcode and I’ll provide you with the exact price This is a very well made example of a steamer trunk designed for luxury travel on cruise liner ships. This would have been a very expensive piece in its day and the height of sophisticated travel. It was made during the British occupation of China, this is known as export furniture meaning it was made for visiting dignitaries and the military to purchase and take home as a keepsake from their trip like the Italian Gran tour pieces so popular during the Victorian era This piece has an amazing patination that can only be achieved through honest age and genuine use This is a decorators piece and really sets a mood, it can be used laying down as a coffee table of course which is what most people do, they make great conversation pieces. If the new owners wish I can have a thick beveled edge glass top made so its easier to use as a cocktail /coffee table, if that’s something your interested in please contact me for the price Condition is period and wonderfully patinated, you honestly could ask for a better example Dimensions Height:- 35cm Width:- 100cm Depth:- 56cm Please note all measurements are taken at the widest point, if you would like any additional or specific measurements please ask Any questions please feel free to ask before you bid Condition Please view the very detailed pictures as they form part of the description around condition Please note vintage period and original items such as leather seating will always have natural patina in the form of cracking creasing and wear, we recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost, also hand dyed leather is not recommended to sit in direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time as it will dry out and fade.
