Art Deco Style Vulcanized Hardshell Wardrobe Steamer Trunk

Item Details

This authentic mid-century American wardrobe steamer trunk is a classic example of ‘golden age’ travel luggage, featuring a durable black hardshell exterior with significant character wear. The front is uniquely stenciled with ‘S A WHITE BRANDEIS UNIV,’ providing a charming academic provenance. Its functional design includes a dual-sided interior: one side houses a tiered system of four drawers with original silver-toned hardware and a herringbone fabric finish, while the opposing side features a garment hanging rail complete with three original wooden hangers. The trunk is reinforced with brass-toned metal corner guards and sturdy locks, maintaining its structural integrity while showcasing an oxidized patina that embodies its history of use.
