Trunks

Crafted between 1850 and 1900, our collection of vintage European oak trunks brings the warmth, character, and craftsmanship of Old-World France and Belgium into modern California homes. Each trunk is made from solid European oak—known for its strength, depth of grain, and ability to age beautifully—making these pieces both functional and deeply soulful.

Originally used in 19th-century farmhouses and estate homes, these trunks once stored linens, textiles, and household essentials. Today, they offer versatile use as coffee tables, blanket storage, firewood holders, or decorative accents that pair effortlessly with your existing vintage armoires, antique buffets, and other European wood furniture. Their natural patina, hand-forged hardware, and classic French provincial and Belgian farmhouse styling add instant authenticity to curated spaces.

Each trunk is one of a kind. Some showcase dovetail joinery or original iron straps, while others feature smooth provincial panels or deeply grained Belgian oak. These subtle variations reflect the handmade techniques of the late 19th century—long before mass production—resulting in pieces with genuine history and enduring quality.

For the California homeowner who values sustainability, refined styling, and meaningful design, these antique trunks offer more than storage. They bring heirloom presence into everyday living—ideal for Napa, Sonoma, Carmel, or the quiet luxury style embraced throughout wine-country interiors. Whether your home leans modern, rustic, or European-inspired, these 1850–1900 trunks add warmth, function, and story-rich beauty that lasts for generations.
