Attributed to 1896, the year Monogram canvas was introduced, it pairs a dark, deeply aged canvas with rows of timber and metal: the gravity of furniture joined to the engineering of luggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Louis Vuitton Monogram footlocker is attributed to 1896 and carries the serial or production number 017388. Borne out by archival or specialist authentication, the date would place it exceptionally early in the history of Monogram canvas; because the attribution materially affects collectibility, Japonista presents it conservatively, as attributed to 1896 and open to archival verification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt about 120 cm wide, 39.5 cm high and 57.5 cm deep, it is a genuinely large footlocker, its broad, low profile giving decorative weight without the vertical bulk of a wardrobe trunk. The historic Monogram covering is interrupted by wooden slats, metal reinforcement, rivets, corner fittings and locking hardware over a substantial wooden body, while aged leather and brass-tone fittings complete the structure: a broad lid for access, a reinforced perimeter, a low center of gravity and a rigid volume to protect belongings in transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside, a pale lining with a soft white textile character contrasts with the dark exterior across an interior of about 117 cm in width, 27 cm in height and 54.5 cm in depth; with the lid open, the trunk stands about 87 cm tall. Under a custom glass top it becomes a dramatic low table that protects the original surface beneath, and it serves equally as a low console, archive centerpiece or collector's storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Louis Vuitton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Footlocker trunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 017388 (serial or production number)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attributed to 1896\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Historic Monogram covering; wooden structural body and slats; aged leather; brass-tone and metal hardware; riveted reinforcement; textile-lined interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown Monogram; pale interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Exterior width 120 cm (47.2 in) · height 39.5 cm (15.6 in) · depth 57.5 cm (22.6 in) · height with lid open approx. 87 cm (34.3 in).
