With bentwood braces and metal caps on its corners, this voyage trunk was built for serious travelling and the marks and knocks on its surfaces inside and out show its seen something of the world. Although the modern explorer doesn’t use such chests these days, they make excellent attractive storage in today’s home, perfect for the easy stowing away of toys, shoes, games and much more. We like these cases repurposed as coffee tables – they’re a good height and overall size for this. They also make original wedding gifts providing old-fashioned, characterful storage space for memories and photos from the special day.
