Beautiful, Outstanding all original early Immigrant trunk dating to 1830. This is definitely a museum quality piece. This is an excellent example of the detail done by the 19th Century artists. It has the original paint and rosemalling and hardware. I have seen other early immigrant trunks, but the bright and lively colors and condition of this trunk are just outstanding. This trunk has the early hand hammered hardware, and we also still have the large key to this trunk. Notice the details that this trunk was made with dove tailed work on the corners and there is even early wheels that were placed on the bottom of this trunk, there is one of the original wheels missing. This trunk measures 46 1/2″ wide, 24″ high, and is 23″ deep. Notice the interior has two small side compartments.
We acquired this trunk from the North Sioux City, South Dakota area, upon visiting with the gentleman that we purchased this trunk from he stated that originally this trunk came from the Onawa, Iowa area, a local couple there sold this trunk to an antique mall in the area to sell it. This trunk had been in their family and they had decided to sell it.
