Remembering a time when restless souls with matching bank accounts could
indulge their unquenchable thirst for adventure as well as their
unquenchable thirst for refreshment, on the Orient Express, with 3 times a
week service from Paris through Strasbourg - Munich - Vienna -
Budapest, with through sleeping-cars all the way to Istanbul.
This trunk is the sort that would have been carried by porters on to the
platform of the Gare de l'Est in Paris, bound for sophisticated adventure.
Designed to be strapped on to the tail rack of a Rolls (or Bentley) in the
1930's, the trunk held a setting for 12, complete with champagne flutes and
dispensers for foie gras and caviar. Clever hole-and-peg system on
hand-turned legs allows the height to be adjusted so that the trunk serves
as a substantial table.
Rich ivory finish with steamed cherry wood bent slats. Brass
hardware, locks and keys. Inside features a warm honey finish.
