"Louis Vuitton" Steamer Trunk

She's a grande old dame.  She's got a few more wrinkles, but her character and beauty are incomparable to newer models.  This early production (turn of the century) Louis Vuitton steamer trunk is all original and retains its original leather strap and buckle which is very rare for a trunk of this vintage.  It has its original lining with Louis Vuitton label and serial number 132816.  The interior of the trunk is in very good condition and odorless.  The brasses have the appropriate stamps.  As an added bonus, this trunk comes with a number of fantastic vintage travel stickers including White Star Line, Canadian Pacific and the Carlton Hotel in London.  This would make a very special coffee or side table or piece at the foot of a bed.  French, early 20th c.  SOLD
