This vintage wooden framed steamer trunk could tell some stories. A good example with original metalware, working lock and key and a lovely amount wear.
The trunk belonged to a Voluntary Aid Detachment (VAD) nurse, James Wallace Cameron, who worked at Trouville hospital looking after casualties of the battle of the Somme in 1818 and 1819.
Useful decorative storage that could also be used as a quirky coffee table.
