Louis Vuitton Automobile Trunk - Circa 1910

Louis Vuitton car trunk in black coated canvas with beveled edges, known as a "concave trunk." It retains its original hardware (lock, clasps, brackets, and handles) in blackened solid brass. One closing element is missing. The trunk is 100% original and in superb condition (as found, neither greased nor cleaned!). The internal label is present. A trace of the registration number "7078-ZZ" is still visible. At the beginning of the 20th century, cars were made to order and did not initially come with a trunk. By specifying the details of your car order, you could then choose your car trunk to create a storage compartment. Louis Vuitton car trunks are numerous and come in various shapes. They are available in varnished mahogany, or in black, red, or monogrammed coated canvas. The range extends from concave trunks for vehicles from the 1910s (like the one we are offering for sale here) to more contemporary suitcases, including square-shaped ones for the Yellow Cruise. Dimensions: 90 cm L x 43 cm H x 44 cm D. Weight: 13 kg
