Antique Decorated Teak Trunk

Antique decorated teak trunk
 
Here we have to offer you this Antique decorated teak trunk made in the early part of the 19th century.
 
It is made of sold teak and mounted with multiple blacksmiths made corners, handles and fittings. It would have been used by a merchant or wealthy family to transport valuables on journeys around India, the Northwest passage, and the Silk Road.
 
As this was to be taken on perilous journeys it required it to be strong and up to the bashing it would endure. Hence the iron bound corners were added for protection not decoration.
 
The lid opens to reveal a full interior and will give a superb storage option.
 
It would have been painted in a bright colour as that was the fashion in Asia.
 
Time and wear enhances the appearance and it is lovely how the teak underneath the paint bleeds through to give this an amazing decorative look.
 
Imagine how wonderful this will look in a very contemporary or classically furnished home.
