Many chests have indeed been found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Even the Greeks and Romans used them on all important journeys. At that time, the trunk was a wooden and bronze chest, sometimes decorated with ivory and precious metal ornaments. The lid was flat to allow for stacking trunks in the mode of transport used. Upon the discovery of America 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 inception of a new concept of travel trunks. Gradually, the chest settled into interiors, becoming the perfect container for childhood memories or a handy coffee table!
