Wooden domed trunk

The history of trunks is intimately linked to horse-drawn travel (animal-drawn car). It was not until 1780 that the first passenger transport companies appeared with stagecoaches, the curved trunk, or "bahut", responded to this new need for travel, the lid was bulging in the 2 directions so that the rain could flow on both sides, and the vault also increases the solidity. The goal is no longer like the trunk to be used exclusively to move personal belongings during his travels, placed on the roofs of cars, bulging trunks must now be light and waterproof for their weather content. This model is made of wood covered with a trianon gray coated canvas, like the vuiton model, of rustic manufacture with wooden chopsticks and tin trim painted in black, the closures are brass, without key, on either side 2 handles in iron painted in black also.
