Item #:	4-592-0
Title:	1880 French Trunk Carved, Steamer
Dimensions (inches):	29.50H x 45.75W x 23.50D
Comment:	This is an old one! Dovetail construction and hammered iron handles make this a great piece. The exterior has smoke graining, which was accomplised by painting a light-colored base coat, then applying varnish over top. Before the varnish is completely dry, a lighted candle is passed near the surface causing soot in the smoke to adhere to the fresh varnish, leaving a curious result on the surface of the trunk.
Condition:	AVERAGE In overall average condition. Antique and vintage items by their very nature are used items and will show signs of normal wear due to age and use. As we define 'average condition' relative to the stated age of the piece, we would expect to see quite a few 'character marks' consistent with that age and could include significant nicks or dings or splits in the wood on a piece of furniture, separation at joints in wood due to expansion and contraction over time, locks may not function, drawers and doors may not open or slide easily, and original trim may be missing. If there has been a break in the marble, it has been repaired and the repair may be visible. There may be restoration that is visible. Upholstered items may show wear consistent with age and use and likely would need to be reupholstered. EuroLux Antiques makes no representation regarding the comfort or useability for the customer's particular application. ITEM SPECIFICS Interior is in rough condition. Exterior has great rustic look.
Age (ca.):	1880
Origin:	France
Material(s):	Painted Wood
Object:	Trunk
Misc:	Carved, Steamer
PieceType:	Trunks
Free Shipping:	This item will be shipped within the Contiguous 48 United States via Vanline. Vanline shipments generally take between 3-5 business weeks after being picked up by the vanline at the EuroLux Gallery. Delivery times may vary depending on your exact location and the current schedule of our preferred vanline. If this timeframe exceeds your expectations or shipping requirements, please do not purchase this item or you may contact EuroLux Antiques for a more accurate delivery time estimate, as actual shipping times can vary slightly due to your specific location. All shipments include insurance and will be delivered into your home. In accordance with our full Terms & Conditions pieces ship FOB EuroLux, and the customer is responsible for fully inspecting each piece for damage upon delivery. Once the customer signs the delivery receipt stating that the item was received in good order, the insurance is null and void, and no future insurance claims will be made. Additional assembly, extra packing or crating charges for particularly fragile items may apply in certain instances.The customer will be notified directly by the shipping company and any additional charges are the sole responsibility of the customer and shall be paid directly to the shipping company in the manner designated by the shipping company. If you have any questions regarding these extra packing or crating charges prior to purchase, EuroLux Antiques will be glad to contact the shipping company to determine whether these extra charges will apply to the particular piece you are interested in. Please email for further details.
Special Message:	Because EuroLuxAntiques maintains its own website and lists on other online sites, while also operating a physical store location in Newberry, South Carolina, we reserve the right to end any listing early if it has not been purchased outright or no bids have been placed upon the item. On occasion, a piece listed on a website may no longer be available. We do our best to maintain the accuracy of our inventory records but we often have customers interested in the same item at the same time. In those cases, we defer to the customer who placed the earlier order. We apologize in advance by any inconvenience this may cause. Because of this, we encourage all of our buyers to purchase the item as quickly as possible so that your treasured find doesn't sell elsewhere to someone else. Happy browsing and thanks! Aimee & Greg Talbot at EuroLuxAntiques.

Terms & Conditions

By bidding, all Buyers bidding or purchasing any of EuroLux Antiques listings acknowledge that they have completely read and agree to all terms and conditions stated in EuroLux Antiques' Complete Terms and Conditions. EuroLux Antiques has painstakingly developed these policies and procedures to protect the Buyer and EuroLux Antiques, and not reading these policies will not be accepted as an excuse for the Buyer’s dissatisfaction.

A Note About Shipping

EuroLux Antiques takes a great deal of pride in its packing and shipping. Please keep in mind that packing fragile and irreplaceable vintage and antique items is not a quick or cheap endeavor. Proper packaging is expensive and bulky and takes a great deal of time to do the job correctly. Boxes are often far larger than most customers (or ebay) would imagine when packed properly. Occasionally, ebay's shipping calculator over-estimates shipping charges. We make a concerted effort to refund grossly excessive shipping charges whenever possible.

When a customer selects UPS Ground, we sometimes ship with an equivalent service such as FedEx or DHL. The shipping charges are similar, and we have found these companies also offer our customers superior customer service. We also occasionally upgrade shipping from USPS Parcel Post to Priority or UPS/FedEx/DHL Ground.

We are a small, family-owned business and our aim is to get your purchase to you as quickly as possible as safely as possible. Delays occasionally can occur due to not having the correct packaging material on hand or missing our regularly scheduled packaging pickup or drop off. We ask your consideration in matters such as these, and we try to communicate with you when delays push delivery out longer than our customers should normally anticipate. We value your inquiries should you have any questions or concerns at any time during our shipping process.
