Length: 75 cm Width: 46 cm Height: 57 cm A brief history of the trunk One of the oldest known trunks dates back to the golden age of Egyptian pharaohs. Many chests have indeed been found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Even the Greeks and Romans used them for all significant journeys. At the time, the trunk was a wooden and bronze chest, sometimes adorned with ivory and precious metal ornaments. The lid was flat to allow stacking of trunks in the mode of transport used. When America was discovered in 1492, trunks filled with all the new fruits and products from the New World crossed the ocean to reach the Old World. The industrial revolution swept through the 19th century with the rise of a new concept of travel trunks. Little by little, the chest settled into interiors, becoming the perfect container for childhood memories or a practical coffee table! Condition: Used: Item that has been used.
