A richly patinated antique steel cabin trunk made in London in the early 20th century, featuring a stamped lock by Short Short & Co. The original black-painted surface shows beautiful, honest wear from age and use.
Marked “Kumbakonam” on the lid, the piece reflects its history of travel to India, adding a compelling layer of provenance. Constructed with riveted steel and fitted with a functional triple-latch closure, the trunk remains fully operational. Small brass wheels add both charm and utility.
A strong decorative accent or functional storage piece, ideal for layering into coastal, colonial, or collected interiors.
