This antique steamer trunk is a very strong piece - well built. It is aged a little on the outside, however there is no rust or rot. During the years of use by my grand-parents in their travels, it does have a light scent of age - If lined with a little aromatic cedar it would be a lovely piece of furniture to use in any home as a table and / or storage - a must see! 40L x 22W x 22H
