As a follow up to a previous post of this trunk many years ago I finally got around to refinishing it. These carpet covered trunks are very rare... I’ve only seen a handful, most posted on this site. This one not only has the wonderful carpet but also great hardware. A bit of trunk eye candy!

Very nice Tman, I love everything about it, especially how the wood slats run on the edge of the trunk, very cool, greendog.
Thanks so much greendog! I never noticed the feature of the slats right up against the ends on the top! Surveying my trunks and others I see this is an exception in design. Yh this one has a lot going for it... too bad it’s not the original lock.. another example of locks broken and replaced with inferior replacements.
You need to look for a nice lock and replace it.
Great job, Trunkman. I've never seen a trunk that was covered in carpet. BTW, I found a man in NYC who sells new old stock locks. Ordered one from him last year to put on a turn-of-the-century steamer that I redid. We were pleased with the lock, and felt his prices were reasonable. Hope this helps.
could you look at the trunk i posted and please assist me with what kind it is?
nice trunk by the way
Beautiful trunk! Yours is the only one that I’ve ever seen. Excellent work on it too!
Thanks myoldkyhome, willlovins, facstchr9455, and greendog for the great comments!
What a great trunk! You're my hero! Nice, REALLY nice work!
Thanks randallbarbera for the enthusiastic thumbs up! Considering your high quality work I am humbled..

Thanks so much Js... happy with the results... it now adorns my office!
