Hingstons Antiques of Wilton

Description

Victorian teak brass bound military trunk
This Victorian teak brass bound military trunk would have been made in the 2nd half of the 19thc.
It is made of teak, a timber that can withstand the demands of the heat of the East, as well as being resistant to sea water.
It was originally made for a British officer to take store his valuables on his journeys around the British Empire, whether it be by land or sailing ship.
This chest, has large flush brass inset corners to add strength for its use.
The solid teak lid opens to reveal total storage space. The hinges that are on the interior, are solid brass and cast in a lovely decorative design.
Imagine the stories this could tell! and all the conversation your family and friends will strike up as you ponder where and what escapades this has been through. Was its owner at Omdurman, the North West Frontier, or even used at the Chinese Boxer rebellion?
