The back of the trunk retains its original panels along with the original floor. Overall, this trunk boasts a lovely mellow, colour and patination.
Condition Report:
The trunk is in good original condition. Nominal old use marks to the top, external sides and leading edges, but nothing significant considering the age of the item (see photos). The interior is clean, dry, and usable. The original steel hinges are in good working condition. The trunk retains its original lid, floor, legs, sides and back. The trunk also retains its original steel working lock (with key). The trunk retains its original colour and patination to the exterior. Evidence of historical wood-worm (which was common in elm) - this has been thoroughly treated. This not surprising considering that this item is over 200 years old. The trunk is solid in joint it does not wobble on the floor and is ready to use.
