Louis Vuitton cabin trunk

This superb Louis Vuitton cabin trunk combines all the assets of the "luxury trunk" par excellence. The edges and the headband are covered with leather, the clasps and the jewelry are in solid brass signed "Louis Vuitton" and the whole trunk is covered with the emblematic Louis Vuitton monogrammed stencil cloth. 

This beautiful model dates from 1915. We find the label of the manufacturer Louis Vuitton inside the trunk, with the various addresses of the time and the manufacturing number (we notice a hand retouching on the serial number to transform the number 2 into 3). 

The interior is in perfect condition with a fitting originally used to fix a frame, as well as a support for top hats. We also notice a pad in the inner cover to protect the contents of the trunk and to fix family pictures or mail. 

The bottom of the trunk is equipped with four wheels and covered with a brown canvas. The shaft is made of poplar and the reinforcing slats are made of beech. Measuring 33 cm high, the Cabin trunks were originally stored under the bunk in an ocean liner cabin or in a sleeper train. 

The trunk is in exceptional condition, with a superb patina of the leather exterior and a perfect interior.
