About the Item
This impressive antique Japanese dome-top trunk is a richly textured example of late 19th-century utilitarian craftsmanship, bearing decades of use, travel, and history through its deeply worn surfaces and original construction.
The trunk features a solid wood body reinforced with extensive hand-forged iron strapping and riveted hardware, all exhibiting substantial, honest patina. The exterior shows pronounced surface wear, cracking, and tonal variation—authentic signs of age that lend the piece its undeniable character and visual depth. Remnants of painted lettering remain visible on the exterior, a detail commonly found on Japanese merchant or shipping trunks and a testament to its functional past.
The hinged domed lid opens and closes properly, revealing an interior lined with aged linen or canvas fabric consistent with period trunk construction. The interior shows wear appropriate to age yet remains structurally sound and visually compelling. Original lock hardware is present, though one lock is missing, and the trunk does not currently lock.
With its generous scale and sculptural domed top, this trunk works beautifully as a coffee table, blanket chest, entryway storage piece, or statement accent.
Its raw materiality and historic presence allow it to integrate seamlessly into interiors ranging from rustic and industrial to eclectic, traditional, or layered modern spaces.
Dimensions:
30” H × 43.5” W × 23.5” D
