A guide for this piece: about $5,487, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

Crafted to hold a life rather than merely clothing, the Louis Vuitton wardrobe trunk is a portable closet from the golden age of voyages. This Monogram example opens like a private dressing room, with a hanging system on one side and a bank of drawers on the other, and is graded A with a near-complete interior.
The Piece
Made in signature Monogram canvas with rich leather trim and patinated brass hardware, this wardrobe trunk embodies the artistry that made Louis Vuitton the world's most celebrated trunk maker. Opened upright, it becomes a moving dressing room: one side holds a complete hanging system with original Louis Vuitton hangers, rails and garment supports, each stamped and made of natural wood; the other houses a bank of lined drawers structured for clothing, accessories and personal treasures. Every detail reveals engineering intended to protect the wardrobe of a refined traveler.
The canvas has aged to a warm chocolate tone, reinforced by brass studs and leather accents softened by time. The trunk comes with fourteen Louis Vuitton hangers, three drawer dividers, the original Louis Vuitton case system, internal straps, frame boards and clothing supports: a near-complete interior set rarely found intact.
Functional as storage and striking as a display, it suits fashion rooms, boutiques, interior showpieces and luxury studios, where it carries the presence of a museum artifact and the old-world elegance of early luxury travel.
