Step into the golden age of Indian railways with this original vintage iron train travel case chest, dating from the 1930s and finished in a striking turquoise blue. These robust trunks were once a common sight on India’s vast train network, painted in distinctive colours so travellers could easily spot and secure their belongings. The chest’s exterior boasts a weathered turquoise blue patina, while the interior features a deep rustic brown, both showing authentic age-related marks and rustic charm.
Today, this evocative piece is perfect for repurposing as a coffee table, bedroom storage, or a statement accent at the foot of a bed. The sturdy iron construction, original hardware, and working clasp ensure durability and vintage appeal. Expect minor historic repairs and a rich patina that tells the story of decades of use.
