Its dimensions are indeed imposing for a cabin trunk, measuring 44 cm high, 10 cm taller than a standard cabin trunk. These dimensions are quite unusual, almost unique, making this Vuitton trunk very difficult to find and highly sought after. This Vuitton trunk features hand-stenciled Monogram canvas, a light honey-colored lozine trim, solid brass locks and clasps stamped Louis Vuitton, Louis Vuitton-stamped studs, and large leather side handles. Its patina is warm and elegant. It is adorned with hand-painted stable stripes on the sides and a few travel tags, adding a touch of extra personality. The leather side handles and interior have been replaced. The interior is clean and in good condition, retaining its original Vuitton label and serial number. The base is lined with black canvas, and the wooden slats are stamped "Louis Vuitton Paris." It could serve as a very elegant coffee table or a chest at the foot of the bed.
