This Old Trunk has been featured in the cover articles of the Antique Journal magazine and Cotton and Quail antiques guide.

We specialize in expert restoration and sale of high quality Steamer Trunks, Antique Trunks, and Chests. We sell a wide variety of antique "steamer" trunks, many of which are very difficult styles to find. The term "steamer trunk" originally referred to a particular style of trunk, made low and wide, which would be stored under beds on the old steamships of the late 1880's to early 1900's period. But now many people call any of the antique trunks a steamer trunk. Our trunk selection on our Trunk Showroom page will usually include rare early Jenny Lind and Civil War period trunks, Humpback, Camelback and Round Top Trunks, as well as Stagecoach Trunks, Embossed Metal Trunks, Steamer Trunks, Wardrobe Trunks, and Flat Top Trunks. There are so many types that were made! With thirty years experience, and hundreds of satisfied customers, we always offer a variety of beautiful, functional, and affordable antique trunks you will be proud to display and use in your home, or to give as a cherished gift! Some are truly one of a kind and each one is in some way unique. Our expert repairing, refinishing, and trunk lining skills are certainly of the highest standards. Many folks have commented that ours are the nicest trunks they have seen anywhere. We take special care to maintain and preserve the historical authenticity of each trunk as much as possible during the restoration or refinishing process.
