Vintage Louis Vuitton Steamer Trunk This trunk was inherited by me. It is a very early example of a authentic Louis Vuitton trunk ( late 1800's ) . When I first received it, my first thought was " wow if this trunk could talk, what stories it would tell ". The trunk is original to it's age and has never been touch or restored. It is in a bit of rough shape, but considering the age it is still in good c...ondition. No holes, or odors. (please see all photos ). Large in size it measures 27" in height X 39 1/2" in width X 23" in depth. It has a metal bottom which is stamped in two places L. Vuitton Paris ( please see photo ) . Also has original tiny metal wheels. It contains all three trays which are in good condition. The color on the trays and the ribbon are the signature purple color. The photo of the bottom of the trunk shows a piece of leather in the center ( not wood ) . It might have had a strap which went around it at one time.Because of it's size and weight, I can not determine the cost of shipping. I believe the safest way to ship this would be via freight or local pickup in person. I will be happy to get you a freight quote.It is packed and ready to ship. If you have additional questions or wish to request more photos , please ask. Thank you for viewing.
