In fact antique trunks are much more than mere wooden boxes,
for the fertile mind; these are witnesses of a bygone era
and pages of history replete with myriad imaginations and
possibilities.
These
objects of beauty come in a variety of shapes, sizes and
styles. Jenny Lind, rare paper covered trunks from the cold
war era, unique bed trunks, and brass bound trunks.
It is
amazing that wood have been crafted into so many shapes and
styles, ranging from standard cuboids to pear Jenny Lind
trunks. Others include table trunks and even Louis Vuitton
trunks representing a class of its own times.
There
are innumerable reasons to own an antique trunk and trying
to enlist them will be severely limiting, if not Quixotic.
Inclination towards history, love for antiquities, aesthetics,
mystery, charm, nostalgia and the list can go on. |
