The trunk measures 16.5 inches long by 26.5 inches wide and stands 15 inches high.
This piece is an authentic antique originating from France, dating back to circa 1800.
Given its dimensions, it is best suited for small items like blankets, books, or decorative accessories rather than large-scale storage.
The trunk is crafted from wood, consistent with the construction methods used by French artisans during the 19th century.
While it is a sturdy piece of functional art, it is primarily designed for storage and display. We recommend avoiding heavy weight or frequent seating to preserve the integrity of the antique hand-carved details.
