Description

Late 19th Century Victorian Flat Top Steamer Trunk. Made from Oak, Metal, and Canvas with leather accents. Features a large divided removable compartment. The iron latch has a unique spade design on it. Great for storage, display, or use as a coffee table.

Steamer trunks, also known as cabin trunks or traveling trunks, were originally used as luggage for extended trips by steamship, train, or stagecoach or for taking to boarding school. Many were quite elaborate inside and out. Steamer trunks have a distinguishing curved or barrel top and can weigh as much as 100 pounds. Today, they are used as furniture or storage.

Trunks have been used around the world for thousands of years. The small, flat-topped trunk we see in use today was popular during the Victorian era and was used primarily for storage. They were usually made of pine and covered in decorative material or leather.
