An extraordinary early 20th-century French Moynat steamer trunk, beautifully reimagined as a coffee table.
This rare piece features Moynat’s signature checkered canvas exterior, framed with hand-riveted brass hardware, leather trim, and solid wood slats—a testament to the refined craftsmanship of one of Paris’s most distinguished trunk makers.
Original travel labels and destination stamps remain intact, hinting at its cosmopolitan past with markings for Napoli, London, and Penang. The patina tells a century of stories, from burnished brass to timeworn leather edges, all preserved in wonderfully authentic condition.
The trunk is now elegantly mounted on a custom solid-wood stand, giving it a new life as a functional coffee table or statement piece. Perfect for sophisticated interiors, it pairs history with design—ideal for collectors and admirers of classic French travel heritage.
