About the Item

This 19th century Anglo-Indian solid teak trunk with original iron bindings has aged beautifully to easily double as a kind of coffee table or other accent furniture in the modern interior. The case has a striking patina of fantastic grain pattern and texture leading one to wonder about all the stories it might tell after traveling around the world. The hinged top has two forged iron hasps that would have been secured with an iron or steel pin. When open, a single chain holds the lid, preventing it from falling back. There is a single forged handle on either side of the box for carrying. Found in England, this iron-bound box originates in the Northern Indian state Rajasthan. Please view the detailed images to see more.
