ANTIQUE 20thC LOUIS VUITTON COURIER TRUNK IN MONOGRAM CANVAS, FRANCE c.1910
£15,995.00
Around the turn of the 19th and 20th century Louis Vuitton had established himself as a market leader in trunk making and needed to set his now famous brand apart from the imitators and competitors. They decided to come up with a logo, a monogram, which was indeed the famous and very recognisable print we are so familiar with today.
This example dates to around 1910. With its steel trim, brass studs and 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. It still retains two of its original lift-out trays. Today it makes for a wonderful piece of interior design, both decorative and useful.
