A short history of the trunk

One of the oldest known trunks dates back to the golden age of the Egyptian pharaohs. Many trunks were in fact found in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Even the Greeks and Romans used them on all important journeys. At the time, the trunk was a wooden and bronze chest, sometimes decorated with ivory and precious metal ornaments. The lid was flat to allow the trunks to be stacked in the means of transport used. When America was discovered in 1492, trunks filled with all the new fruits and products of the New World crossed the ocean to reach the Old World. The industrial revolution swept through the 19th century with the beginning of a new concept of travel trunks. Little by little, the trunk settled into interiors, becoming the perfect container for childhood memories or the very practical coffee table!
