Antique Bronze Chest Trunk Porcelain Limoges Box

An old-fashioned chest trunk, painted in antique bronze tones with its straps and fittings picked out by hand, recalls the days of steamer travel and attic treasures. This porcelain Limoges box was made in Limoges, France.

Steamer Days and Attic Finds

Trunks like this once crossed oceans in the holds of great ships, then spent decades in attics holding letters, quilts and family keepsakes. The bronze tones give this porcelain version a weathered, well-traveled look.
