Trunk returning from Algiers c.1920
Small cabin trunk from the early 20th century, covered with a purple coated canvas with crocodile patterns. Model "circled" with a brass jewel and three leather handles. We notice a handle on the front of the trunk, allowing the traveler to pull the trunk from under his berth during a liner trip. We also see shipping labels from a trip to Algiers in Africa from Marseille. We still have the protective cover.
The inside of the trunk is covered with a patterned paper, with a canvas frame for storing clothes. Ribbons are fixed in the cover to store the pictures.
Good Condition: The trunk is in good condition for its age, with some marks on the outer canvas.

THE COFFEE TABLE, CABIN SIZE
These trunks disappeared from Louis Vuitton or Goyard sales catalogs when the airplane supplanted the liners in the immediate post-war period. For lack of traveling today with these cabin trunks, their format is ideal to make a coffee table. Often protected by a glass, it is the assurance of having an unusual table, full of history and symbol of an art of living at the beginning of the 20th century.
