About the Item

The painted finish is all original on this rustic pine flat top narrow trunk which may also serve as a bench. Flowers were a traditional embellishment as seen on the front of this handcrafted trunk with multi colored flowers contrasting against the blue and red-orange panel backgrounds. The deep patina of the pine top reflects generations of use, and much wear is seen along the top. The faux wood painted background was also a traditional style motif of the era. The date of 1889 is seen in the center front painted panel; note the scalloped skirt as well. This trunk rests on raised feet. Note photo of interior that reveals the inside of the top is also painted. Restored, strong and stable, this 7' long narrow pine trunk is ready to be used and enjoyed, possibly at the end of a bed or in an entry or hallway. Wax finish. No lock nor key. All scratches, cracks, nicks, dings, stains, dried old wormholes and age related separation(see interior bottom) are reflective of age and do not detract from the rustic appeal nor function of this trunk which may also serve as a bench. Wear to painted finish seen throughout reflects over 100 years of use.
