george iii camphor and leather travelling trunk

Circa 1810, late George III camphor, leather and brass bound travelling trunk. The rectangular trunk has faded stencilled foliate designs and floral painting throughout. In the centre there are various studs forming an almost heraldic shield shape. The studding occurs on the edge and the fore-edge is brass bound on the top and the sides. Beneath the top there is a leather apron again held in place by close brass studding and this is stencilled with flowers. There is covering on the back but this does not have any painting on it. There are cast brass lifting handles at the sides with lovely patination, brass studding and stencilling and this again occurs on the front. The kist has great character and would make a very stylish coffee table for storage.

Georgian Antiques

Georgian Antiques was founded in 1978 by John Dixon's brother Padriac in a small shop at Jocks Lodge, Meadowbank in Edinburgh, with John joining the business after finishing college in 1981. The business grew so rapidly, they couldn't keep up with their inventory needs. Their goal has been to create a one-stop-shop where designers can complete an entire project from antique lighting to antique furniture to accessories. Scotland's largest antiques warehouse is located in a converted whiskey bond in historic Leith Edinburgh. With 50,000sq ft over five floors we offer a wide range of quality Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian furniture, as well as continental and small decorative items. Our stock is constantly changing.
