Sinclairs Antiques and Interiors

Description

Fabulous fully restored leather officers trunk . The hinged lid with working latch, opens to reveal a clean fabric lined interior. The leather covering is beautifully rich and decorated with older leather patches, brass pins, studs and corners. The badge on the top is from the Coldstream Guards and reads "Honi soit qui mal y pense". This is very decorative and would make ideal coffee/ tables / window seat with storage
Honi soit qui mal y pense is a maxim in the Anglo-Norman language, a dialect of Old Norman French spoken by the medieval ruling class in England, meaning "shamed be whoever thinks ill of it" usually translated as "shame on anyone who thinks evil of it" It is the moto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter, the highest of all British knighthoods, except in Scotland.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
We offer a 7 day money back guarantee if you are unhappy with any of your items purchased from us however cannot refund the return shipping cost.
If you are not sure please do not purchase without contacting us.
