A decorative pig skin covered trunk raised on a carved wood stand with bracket-style feet and dark metal campaign-style hardware. The simple rectangular form is accented by a large circular latch plate and side carrying handles, while the interior retains its original paper lining and maker’s label. The natural pig skin surface has developed a warm aged patina over time, giving the piece a refined but rustic character well suited for use as a decorative storage trunk or low accent piece. Lightweight in construction, the trunk has a delicate quality with visible cracking and wear to the pig skin surface, particularly around the lower corners and edges consistent with age. Show more
