This super trunk dates from about 1900, and is in excellent condition. Made by Hill & Millard of Trafalgar Square, the trunk is made from English hide and has a beautiful patina. Decorated with brass studs and with solid brass lock and buckles, this is a very good quality piece. The trunk is lined with its original blue lining, and has the manufacturers label inside the lid. Altogether a particularly fine and genuine vintage trunk.

Custom-made luggage and vanity cases became popular following the increase in travel amongst the affluent classes during the post-war 1920s. Beautifully crafted and stunning aesthetic pieces with extraordinary attention to detail, vintage luggage can make a statement storage solution within a room if too heavy for today's modern travel. These pieces evoke the glamour of the golden age of travel during the early 20th Century.
