Many chests have indeed been found in Tutankhamun's tomb. Even the Greeks and Romans used them on all important journeys. At that time, the trunk was a wooden and bronze chest, sometimes adorned with ivory and precious metal ornaments. The lid was flat to allow for stacking trunks in the mode of transport used. At the discovery of America in 1492, trunks filled with all the new fruits and products of the New World crossed the ocean to reach the Old World. The industrial revolution swept through the 19th century with the beginning of a new concept of travel trunks. Little by little, the chest settled into interiors, becoming the perfect container for childhood memories or a handy coffee table!
