ANTIQUE 20thC LOUIS VUITTON SHOE TRUNK IN MONOGRAM CANVAS, FRANCE c.1920
A beautiful and increasingly rare Louis Vuitton shoe trunk, featuring a vibrant monogram canvas, lozine leather trim and solid brass fittings. Dating to the early part of the 20th century, this piece reflects the golden age of travel, when trunks such as this would have accompanied their owners on great ocean liners and first-class journeys across the world.
The interior retains its original lift-out trays, designed for the practical storage of footwear, while the exterior fittings are in brass, the superior option offered by Louis Vuitton at the time, reserved for higher-grade commissions.
Today, beyond its original function, the trunk translates effortlessly into a striking interior piece. Its proportions make it ideal as a coffee table or side table, while its rich patina and unmistakable presence ensure it works equally well in both traditional and contemporary settings. A genuine statement object, combining utility, history and timeless design.
