Antique Louis Vuitton Book Trunk Monogram Canvas Early 20th C Rare Home Decor

  

This incredibly rare book trunk was made by Louis Vuitton, most likely in the early 20th C. It features front and side latches (no key), and opens to reveal Louis Vuitton embossed canvas straps with metal fastener (stamped Louis Vuitton Brevete).

The exterior corners are covered in leather (another early production hallmark) and it's trimmed in LV stamped leather. Extremely RARE and perfect for the interior designer, writer or collector, you'll be hard-pressed to find another like it for sale online. In good condition given its 100+ years of age, this piece was well-used and well-loved and it shows: the metal hardware is patina'd and shows some spots and verdigris, the exterior canvas shows dings, stains and light scuffs and the leather trim shows chips, cracks, digs and darkening, most notable on the leather corners, the front trim and top handle (see last image). The interior shows use, stains and wear, and one of the canvas straps has a small tear appx. It measures appx 9.5in H x 16in L x 7.5in D.
