Antique 1950s Wooden Steamer Trunk from Gujarat, India
Rustic Mid-Century Travel Chest with Iron Hardware

Capture the spirit of a bygone travel era with this original 1950s wooden steamer trunk from Gujarat, India—a rugged yet charming relic of global adventure. Crafted from solid wood and reinforced with hand-forged iron strapping, this authentic travel chest once accompanied families on steamship and train journeys during India’s post-independence period.
