A fantastic antique trunk. Made from pine with wrought iron banding, fittings and corners. There is a brass plaque to the front with the makers name for 'Gieve Matthews & Seagrove Ltd '.  They were established in 1785, with a Royal Appointment. They have a rich history of outfitters to the British Royal Navy. This rare travel trunk would have been used by a Naval officer to transport uniform and attire. it has later been used as a tool chest with a saw mount to the inside lid. This is a wonderful original trunk dating from the end of the 19th century. The bras hinge inside is just great. 
A stunning unique piece, full of history and perfect to use for storage or a side table in a any modern interior.
