Coveted Mid 19th Century, handmade trunk. This is a beautifully designed Small trunk. We're hard pressed to think of a more versatile than this difficult to find piece. It is “at home” in most rooms. Old French country wood feel. Antique furniture is a great way to make your home decor stand out! A nice humpback or dome top made of wood. It shows a lot of beautiful wear, but otherwise is in good condition, considering it's age.

Antique furniture is the term for collectible interior furnishings of considerable age; often its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features makes the furniture desirable. Antique furniture may support the human body (such as seating or beds), provide storage, or hold objects on horizontal surfaces above the ground. Storage furniture (which often makes use of doors, drawers, and shelves) is used to hold or contain smaller objects such as clothes, tools, books, and household goods. Furniture can be a product of artistic design and is considered a form of decorative art. In addition to furniture's functional role, it can serve a symbolic or religious purpose. Domestic furniture works to create, in conjunction with furnishings such as clocks and lighting, comfortable and convenient interior spaces. Furniture can be made from many materials, including metal, plastic, and wood. Cabinetry and cabinet making are terms for the skill set used in the building of furniture.
