Step into the romance of Indian railway journeys with this original vintage iron train travel case chest, dating from the 1930s and finished in a beautiful copper blush with a timeworn patina. The exterior boasts a warm, burnished copper-pink hue with authentic blackened and rustic accents, while the interior is painted a soft pale mint green, showing the marks of many adventures. These trunks, once a staple on India’s vast rail network, were painted in distinctive colours so travellers could easily spot and secure their belongings.
Today, this evocative piece is ideal for repurposing as a coffee table, bedroom storage, or a statement accent at the foot of a bed. The robust iron construction, original hardware, and working clasp ensure both durability and vintage appeal. Expect minor historic repairs and a rich patina that tells the story of decades of use.
