Older than a century, it feels less like something one carries than something one arrives with, and its later relining forms part of a candid restoration history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis antique Monogram wardrobe trunk, more than 100 years old and bearing identifying number 0647650, was conceived as a portable cabinet for the grand age of rail and ocean travel. At about 111 cm wide, 66 cm high and 55 cm deep, its broad rectangular body opens into an elaborate interior of drawers, trays and compartments, giving it the presence of furniture rather than luggage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior presents historic Monogram across a deeply aged brown field, divided by horizontal and vertical wooden battens into a strong grid and reinforced by brass-tone metal fittings, rows of rivets, corner guards, central reinforcement, historic locks and carrying hardware. Wood framing, leather components, fitted cabinetry and textile lining complete a construction closer to compact furniture than to modern luggage. Initials are present on the trunk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior carries a documented restoration history. The trunk originally incorporated hanging storage on the right side, which now holds a six-drawer section, and the drawer system has since been repaired or adapted; the lining has been renewed in orange. The left side holds an upper tray, two upper drawers, a middle drawer, two lower drawers and a bottom drawer. The exterior keeps far more of its historic character, while the interior represents a later functional intervention, treated here as part of the trunk's history rather than disguised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLouis Vuitton founded his Maison in Paris in 1854 after training as a trunk maker and packer, and large fitted wardrobe trunks represented the culmination of that thinking: luggage that could stack, resist impact, protect garments and survive ships and railways. Displayed closed, this one reads as a monumental Monogram chest; open, as a historical wardrobe cabinet for a dressing room, boutique or fashion archive.\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 Antique wardrobe \/ fitted trunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0647650\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th century; more than 100 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monogram coated canvas; wood framing and reinforcing slats; riveted metal hardware; leather components; textile lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brown Monogram; orange interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Width 111 cm (43.7 in) · Height 66 cm (26.0 in) · Depth 55 cm (21.7 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Six-drawer right section; upper tray and six drawers on the left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMarkings:\u003c\/strong\u003e Identification number 0647650; initials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRestoration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Interior relined in orange; drawer system repaired or adapted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntique condition with substantial age-related wear and later interior restoration; a decorative and collectible object rather than a cosmetically pristine accessory.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeathering, dirt, scratches, staining and surface wear; wear to the wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMetal dents, missing or loosened rivets, oxidation and abrasion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistoric repair: the interior has been relined in orange and the drawer system repaired or adapted.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGiven its age and size, a professional inspection of the base, hinges, drawer supports, timber frame and locks is recommended before intensive use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDrawer Dimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximate interior measurements, width × height × depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight side, upper drawer: 50 × 10 × 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight side, second drawer: 50 × 16 × 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight side, third to fifth drawers: approx. 50 × 16.5 × 23 cm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRight side, lowest drawer: 50 × 24 × 23 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side, upper tray: 48.5 × 6.5 × 33 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side, two upper drawers: 50 × 7 × 32.5 cm each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side, middle drawer: 52 × 19.5 × 35.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side, lower drawers: 52 × 16 × 35.5 cm and 52 × 15 × 35.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft side, bottom drawer: 52 × 25 × 35.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trunk bears identification number 0647650; canvas, timber and slat configuration, lock and rivet typology and hardware aging read as a historic Louis Vuitton wardrobe trunk, with the orange relining and drawer repairs disclosed as later work.
