DESCRIPTION
One of the rarest Louis Vuitton trunks to be offered, this "malle haute" (tall trunk) is covered in the world famous damier (checkerboard) canvas. This example dates to around 1900 and is a perfect example of such trunks. With its leather trim, brass studs, fittings and locks it still shows the same elegance as it did well over 100 years ago and is a testament to the durability of the best trunk maker in the world. Today it makes for a wonderful piece of interior design, both decorative and useful.
A near identical trunk is available for sale should a pair be required.
