This fine Regency period coaching trunk is a wonderful example of early 19th-century travel luxury and craftsmanship. Constructed with a robust camphor wood carcass, it is beautifully bound in rich green leather, reinforced with gilt-brass mounts, and studded decoration. The top is framed with a striking brass-studded border and central panel, adding both strength and elegance to its design.
When you lift the lid, you will sense the subtle perfume of the camphor. It is lined with the original pink paper.
This would have been purchased by a wealthy family to take on travels in horse drawn carriages to their destinations, for business or pleasure.
The trunk features brass corner protectors and mounts for durability during travel, while the original lock escutcheon remains intact, hinting at its prestigious past. Its substantial size would have made it ideal for long journeys by carriage, storing clothing and valuables securely.
With its handsome patina and timeworn charm, this trunk embodies the elegance and practicality of the Regency era, making it not only a functional storage piece but also a statement decorative object for the home.
