Step back in time with this authentic vintage Indian iron train travel case chest, dating from the 1930s. The exterior is finished in a classic olive green, displaying a robust industrial patina, while the interior is painted a soft pale blue for a striking contrast. Once a familiar sight across India’s vast train network, these trunks were painted in distinctive colours so travellers could easily identify their luggage and keep it secure on long journeys.
Now, this evocative piece is perfect for modern interiors as a coffee table, storage chest, or statement piece at the foot of a bed. The sturdy iron construction, original hardware, and working clasp ensure both durability and vintage appeal. Expect authentic age-related marks, minor repairs, and a rich patina that tells the story of decades of use.
