{"product_id":"large-antique-teak-merchant-s-trunk-frieth","title":"Large Antique Teak Merchant’s Trunk | Frieth","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"638\" data-start=\"210\"\u003eA striking and exceptionally large antique merchant’s trunk crafted from solid teak and retaining its original black painted finish and brass hardware. Rich in character and beautifully timeworn, this substantial storage chest would once have travelled long distances carrying textiles, valuables or personal possessions, and today makes a remarkable statement piece within a country house, modern rustic or barn-style interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"987\" data-start=\"640\"\u003eThe trunk showcases traditional craftsmanship throughout, from its hand-forged brass corner straps and carrying handles to the deep solid teak construction designed for durability and longevity. The original black paintwork has worn gently over time, revealing layers of patina and texture that simply cannot be replicated in newly made furniture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"989\"\u003eIts generous proportions make it ideal as a coffee table trunk, blanket chest, hallway storage piece or end-of-bed chest, while the weight and solidity of the teak give the piece an impressive presence. Every mark, knock and variation in the timber reflects the passage of time and adds to its authentic appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"377\" data-start=\"0\"\u003ePlease note that this is a genuine antique item and not a newly manufactured piece. Signs of age, wear and historical use are to be expected and form part of its character and charm. Variations in colour, surface texture, old repairs, marks, knocks, scratches, small splits, historic wood movement and imperfections in the finish are all consistent with age and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"654\" data-start=\"379\"\u003eWe make every effort to photograph and describe our pieces accurately, however antique furniture will always show the natural patina and irregularities acquired over many years of use. These details are considered part of the beauty and uniqueness of each one-of-a-kind item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"989\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-end=\"1430\" data-start=\"1413\" data-section-id=\"14at72t\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-end=\"1864\" data-start=\"1432\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1471\" data-start=\"1432\" data-section-id=\"ob5rt4\"\u003eVery large and heavy antique merchant’s trunk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1471\" data-start=\"1432\" data-section-id=\"ob5rt4\"\u003eAntique and over 100 years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1499\" data-start=\"1472\" data-section-id=\"ugvquz\"\u003eCrafted from solid teak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1533\" data-start=\"1500\" data-section-id=\"1bpgd4i\"\u003eOriginal aged black paintwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1586\" data-start=\"1534\" data-section-id=\"1newypt\"\u003eRetains original brass hardware and side handles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1633\" data-start=\"1587\" data-section-id=\"1f6qlfz\"\u003eBeautiful naturally worn patina throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1680\" data-start=\"1634\" data-section-id=\"1107r8v\"\u003eHeavy and exceptionally solid construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1738\" data-start=\"1681\" data-section-id=\"1pbbpqb\"\u003eIdeal as a coffee table, blanket box or storage chest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1789\" data-start=\"1739\" data-section-id=\"1cdv1i6\"\u003eRich character with historic wear and markings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"1821\" data-start=\"1790\" data-section-id=\"hrnsnc\"\u003eOne-of-a-kind antique piece\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight 58cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWidth 93cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepth 52cm \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54259973161301,"sku":"67954111112840","price":895.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1050\/6672\/5717\/files\/19767A7E-F0E6-41FC-829B-1C12CBE826C4.jpg?v=1782932111","url":"https:\/\/simplywooduk.com\/products\/large-antique-teak-merchant-s-trunk-frieth","provider":"Simply Wood Limited","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
