T107 - Theatrical Dresser Trunk

Size: 38" wide, 25" tall, 23" deep.

A beautiful and scarce flat top theatrical dresser trunk of the late 1890's to early 1900's complete with 3 original wooden drawers, upper covered compartments, and the original working brass lock. These trunks were designed and built to be used by traveling theatrical groups, musicians, Vaudeville acts, and others which were popular in the late 1890's to the 1920's. A very well built, heavy duty trunk which has lots of strong hardware, braces, and 4 iron latches. The strong exterior slats are elm with a beautiful grain. There are large iron rollers on the clean metal covered bottom. The solid brass lock is from Yale & Towne with the original barrel key. The thick multi-layer leather handles are original style replacements. The top compartment with 3 sections has the original fabric covered lid with 3 original leather snap holders. The interior also has some Victorian period trim and two chromolithographs, which many trunks of this period had. The 3 drawers are all refinished solid wood with original steel pulls. There is a roomy compartment area beneath the drawers which is also fabric lined (see detailed pictures). The trunk was thoroughly cleaned out, sanitized, then restored and finished with satin varnish which is very durable and smooth. There are of course a few signs of age and use such as some cracks and old worm holes, but nothing that detracts from its beauty and strength. A fabulous and unique trunk, wonderful for storage and for use in the home in many ways. I've only had a few similar theatrical trunks in many years of trunk restoring.
