That Old Thing

Pair of Vintage Matching Wardrobe Steamer Trunks with Full Hanging & Drawer Interiors

Regular price $2,895.00

An exceptional pair of matching vintage wardrobe steamer trunks featuring a rare complementary configuration. Rather than the more commonly seen single wardrobe trunk divided between drawers and hanging storage, this pair creates a complete traveling wardrobe system—one trunk dedicated to hanging garments and the companion trunk fitted with a full bank of drawers.

Both trunks feature aged cream canvas exteriors accented by double green stripes, leather-bound edges, rows of rivets, metal corner guards, and substantial period hardware. The richly colored burgundy interiors retain an impressive assortment of fitted components. The hanging trunk includes wooden hangers, curved garment supports, and leather retaining straps, while the companion trunk opens to reveal multiple full-width storage drawers with leather pull tabs.

Decades of travel have left the exteriors beautifully worn, with remnants of old travel labels, distressed canvas, aged leather, oxidation, and extensive surface character. Particularly striking displayed together and opened, this unusual matching pair offers both a strong decorative presence and a glimpse into an earlier era of extended rail and ship travel.

Condition: Vintage condition with substantial wear consistent with age, travel, and use. Exterior canvas shows staining, discoloration, scratches, abrasions, tears, losses, and remnants of old labels. Leather trim, handles, pulls, and interior straps show drying, cracking, wear, breaks, and areas of loss. Hardware has oxidation, patina, scratches, and surface wear. Interior lining, drawers, hangers, and fittings show age-related wear and discoloration. Some straps and fittings are damaged, incomplete, or missing. Please review photos closely for condition and remaining components.

Trunk 1: 23" L × 22" W × 40" H
