A Damier “malle haute“ (tall trunk) by Louis Vuitton, early 20th century. This trunk was the must have item of any elite traveller. Covered in the world famous LV Damier (or checkerboard) canvas, it oozes style and elegance. A fantastic conversation piece, great size for a coffee table or just as a standalone item suitable for any interior.
This particular example dates to around 1900 and is a great example of Louis Vuitton’s Damier trunks of the period. With its brass studs, steel trim, steel clasps and brass lock, it still shows the same elegance as it did well over 100 years ago and is a testament to the durability of the best trunk maker in the world. Today it makes for a wonderful piece of interior design, both decorative and useful.
