RECENT ACQUISITIONS - 2nd May
Around the turn of the 20th century, Louis Vuitton had firmly established himself as a leader in luxury trunk making. To distinguish his brand from growing competition and imitation, the company introduced its now-iconic monogram canvas, a bold and instantly recognisable symbol of craftsmanship and prestige that remains a hallmark of the house to this day.
This example, dating from around 1910, is a superb Louis Vuitton trunk covered in the world-famous monogrammed canvas. With leather borders and gleaming brass fittings, it represented the pinnacle of luxury travel at the time. Over a century later, it remains a magnificent conversation piece, perfectly sized to serve as a coffee table or as a striking standalone statement in either modern or traditional interiors.
