About the Item

This is an interesting and unusual trunk. The construction is typically German. The bold moldings pegged into the lid edges and the heavy trim to the base, the spring-loaded lock and interior candle box on the upper left. The sturdy rows of dovetails joining the four upright boards to each other and the floor. The heavyweight cast iron carrying handles, look unmistakenly mid-nineteenth century German. Made before Germany proper existed. The decorative paint, well-worn but still beautiful, with its “C” and “S” scrolls bursting out of the painted faux panels on the front and the sides is rosmaling, literally “rosepainting”, which, in this style, is more typically Scandinavian. We have concluded that this is probably a Danish piece, from the borderlands between Denmark and Germany.
