Its monogrammed canvas is a woven fabric, a very rare material that Louis Vuitton used only from the very end of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century. It features black steel hardware and side handles, as well as a solid brass lock and clasps stamped with the Louis Vuitton name, and studs all stamped LV. It retains a few charming travel labels and has no painted stable bands or initials.

The interior is also original, with its Louis Vuitton label and serial number, except for the padding under the lid, which has been replaced. The interior is neat and clean, with no odor. It is equipped with a removable tray with compartments at each end.

Our cabinetmaker crafted a custom-made removable stand in wood and brass specifically for this Vuitton trunk. It's very practical because, thanks to this design, its height reaches 42 cm, making it a good-sized coffee table. It could serve as a very elegant coffee table or a blanket chest.
