A stunning and original antique travel trunk. A great suitcase which would have been used on steamer ships and trains at the turn of the century. Made from Vellum calfskin and indicate its high quality. The word Vellum is derived from the Latin word 'Vitulinum' meaning "made from calf", leading to old french vélin, or "calfskin". A wonderful example of a period trunk, perfect to add soul and character to any modern space.
