ANTIQUE 20thC LOUIS VUITTON 'MALLE HAUTE' TRUNK IN DAMIER CANVAS, FRANCE c.1900
£14,995.00
A classic Louis Vuitton malle haute trunk, dating to around 1900 and covered in the house’s iconic damier canvas. Designed for extended travel, the tall format provided generous storage while remaining robust enough to withstand long journeys by rail and sea.
The trunk retains its original brass hardware, wooden slats and interior lining, all characteristic of Louis Vuitton’s early craftsmanship and attention to detail. The damier canvas, introduced in the late 19th century, was both practical and instantly recognisable, making it one of the firm’s most enduring signatures.
