Object Description
A heavily brass bound, teak Anglo-Indian Trunk.
The Trunk sits on sledge feet that run from front to back and has brass carrying handles to the sides. The lid is held on three hinges and has a webbing strap to the interior to hold it open. The lid interior has a bracing bar to add strength. The two locks to the trunk have round brass escutcheon plates.
A trunk like this would have been used by most officers and some enlisted men. It offers plenty of storage and is a good height to also provide a seat or a surface for use as a coffee table. The manufacturer has not held back on the brass straps with four used to the long edges and two to the short. It also has brass corners. Mid to late 19th Century.
