ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Founded in Paris in 1854, Louis Vuitton revolutionised travel with the introduction of flat-topped trunks that could be easily stacked, replacing the domed shapes previously in use. Vuitton’s designs quickly became synonymous with innovation, quality, and elegance, serving an elite clientele during the golden age of travel.
By the turn of the 20th century, Louis Vuitton had established itself as the leading maker of luxury luggage, with specialised canvases such as Vuittonite developed for strength, water resistance, and longevity. These early trunks were handcrafted to withstand steamship crossings, railway journeys, and the emerging age of automobile travel, making surviving examples highly sought after today.
CONDITION
In overall good antique condition with visible surface wear, scuffs, and marks consistent with age and extensive use. The canvas shows areas of patina and small losses, the leather trim is worn but stable, and the brass hardware retains its original character. Interior lining shows signs of age and use.
