Vintage French Travel Trunk By Au Touriste Paris

A lovely Vintage French Travel Trunk by 'Au Touriste Paris'. A wonderful survivor of a bygone age of travel. The canvas covered with hand painted panels and G.B emblem to each end. Attractively bound in timber, probably birch, which is clasped with leather. Further leather trim to its perimeters including leather carrying handles to the sides. Wonderful heavy gauge working brass lock with key. Au Toutiste brass trade plate to its side. Internally the trunk holds a removeable shallow tray with large storage area below and a stationery envelope to its lid. Condition with the trunk has been lightly restored retaining its historical patina and is in good used condition. There is wear to the leather edges and one handle has been restored. A good quality trunk ideal for storage but also look great when used as a coffee or bedside table.
