Rare 1890's Antique Theatrical Wardrobe Trunk / Portable Dresser

This is an incredible and rare antique theatrical wardrobe trunk, sometimes called a dresser trunk or portable armoire. These were used by performers and travelers who needed to take their wardrobe on the road. When closed, it's a handsome wood and metal chest; when opened, it transforms into a functional dresser. This trunk stands upright and acts as a "wall saver," providing a huge amount of storage without taking up much floor space. Features: Unique Wardrobe Function: Opens to reveal a full set of built-in shelves. Beautifully Relined: The interior has been immaculately updated with a clean and cheerful floral paper, making it ready to use for storing clothes, linens, craft supplies, or anything else you can think of. Authentic Details: Features the original wood slats and handsome, aged metal hardware that give it incredible character. Versatile Use: This makes an amazing statement piece in a bedroom, entryway, or living room. It could even be converted into a very cool, unique bar cabinet. Condition: Excellent antique condition. The trunk is solid and sturdy. It has the expected dings and scuffs from a long and storied life, which only add to its authentic charm. Please note that one side leather handle is torn. The interior is exceptionally clean. This is a functional piece of history that you won't find anywhere else. A true conversation starter! Pick-up in Colorado Springs.
