    I just picked up this piece recently. I'm new to the antique and vintage trunk items but I have always loved the look of them. I hope I scored a cool piece. I thought the inside was painted but it seems to be a paper like lining on top of the raw wood. The artwork seems original.

      I guess cool would be in the eye of the beholder just like beauty but I think this one is very cool. Nice looking trunk.

      Personally I think it's great, that's why I bought it. On one of the pictures(lithographs) I can make out "Kaufman & Strauss". From another post on here and searching the Internet I read that they did these lithographs in the late 1880's on. I'd love some more info if anyone can add anything! Cheers
