Set of eight different vintage luggage trunks and suitcases.

All in good condition, very decorative and sold in one lot. As a set, these cases make a real impact as a quirky design piece whilst also offering a storage solution.

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.
