Officer's trunk, known as captain's trunk, made of camphor wood*, plates, nails, reinforcements, handles and lock in gilded brass, monogram on the lid, covered with leather, from the 19th century. This trunk is in good condition. We do not have its key. Please note: small holes at the back of the trunk, some dents and scratches, some stains on the leather and wear from time, take a good look at the photos. * The camphor tree is a tree of the Lauraceae family, from which camphor is extracted by distillation of its wood. Camphor wood, whose particular smell lasts for several years, has fungicidal properties that kept moths away. For this reason, it was long used for the manufacture of trunks to transport furs and clothing. PLEASE NOTE: FOR A DELIVERY QUOTE, PLEASE CONTACT US WITH THE CITY AND COUNTRY OF DESTINATION.
