Know before you buy
The trunk features an aged patina finish, which is intentionally applied to give the piece a historical, lived-in appearance. While the wood is sturdy and structurally sound, you should expect natural variations in color and texture that reflect its 17th-century aesthetic.
With dimensions of 62 inches wide and 24 inches deep, this trunk offers a generous interior capacity suitable for storing blankets, linens, or seasonal items. It is designed to function as both a decorative statement piece and a practical storage solution.
Yes, the trunk arrives fully assembled. Given its robust wood construction and dimensions, it is a substantial piece that is ready to be placed in your home immediately upon delivery.
At 25.75 inches high, it is slightly taller than a standard bench, but it can certainly serve as a focal point at the foot of a bed or in an entryway. Its flat top makes it a versatile surface, though you may want to measure your specific space to ensure the height complements your existing furniture.
To preserve the finish and the intricate carvings, dust the trunk regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or furniture polishes, as these can damage the aged patina over time.
