About the Item
A beautifully restored flat-top steamer trunk by renowned New York luggage maker Crouch
Fitzgerald, featuring its original enameled brass maker’s plaque on the lid, C&F insignia on the two side latches, Crouch
Fitzgerald N.Y. on the center locking latch (working Key is included), plus the original fabric label that was on the interior lining.
While the interior fabric was stripped from the interior, we retained this label so that it could be re-incorporated with any future interior lining.
The interior can be outfitted with new leather or fabric, or can be outfitted as a mini-bar for cups and bottle service. Contact us if you would like a quote for either option.
Founded in 1839, Crouch
Fitzgerald was one of America’s oldest and most respected luxury leather goods companies, celebrated for crafting finely made travel trunks, valises, and accessories for the affluent traveler. Their trunks rivaled those of Louis Vuitton and Goyard in quality and prestige during the golden age of travel.
This trunk showcases a solid wood interior with warm patina, exterior clad in deep brown leather, trimmed with steel hardware and hardwood slats, and fitted with iron-bound corners, riveted strapping, and brass latches marked with the C&F insignia. The interior has been carefully refinished, preserving the character of the aged wood while making it clean and usable for storage or repurposing.
Its proportions make it well-suited for use as a cocktail table, drinks cabinet, blanket chest, or decorative storage piece. With minor adaptations, it could also serve as a bar cabinet, entryway bench, or coffee table. Excellent for display or practical use in traditional, eclectic, industrial, or steampunk interiors.
- Signed on the lid with an embossed brass plaque: "Crouch
Fitzgerald New York"
- Hardware also stamped "C&F" and "Crouch
Fitzgerald N.Y."
- Restored inside and out, ready for functional or decorative use.

Paolo Buffa
Giovanni Gariboldi Inlaid Brass Secretary Cabinet c 1950, Restored
By Paolo Buffa, Giovanni Garibaldi
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Experience the elegance of mid-20th century Italian craftsmanship with this beautifully restored secretary cabinet, crafted circa 1950. Designed by the renowned Italian artist Paolo Buffa (1903-1970), and featuring intricate brass intarsia by Giovanni Gariboldi (1908-1971), this piece is a testament to both artistry and functionality.
The upper section is framed by glazed doors adorned with brass star inlays. Unlocking these doors reveals a burgundy velvet-lined interior with two fixed glass shelves. Above, a majestic brass-inlaid swan neck split-pediment design crowns the case.
Opening the secretary desk door unveils a gorgeous fruitwood fitted interior accented with inlaid trim. A central brass crest with a working lock and decorated brass key adds a touch of security and sophistication. Flanked by three drawers on either side, each adorned with decorated brass knobs in similar style of Tommi Parzinger, the desk provides ample storage with its five central file dividers.
The lower cabinet features a pair of finely reeded doors that open to reveal additional finished storage space. Supported by brass sabots, every detail of this secretary showcases exceptional craftsmanship and enduring beauty, making it a prized addition to any collection of fine furniture.
The two parts can separate for easier transportation and shipping. There are brackets on the reverse that help to hold the top in place while in use.
