Description: C A Taylor was a premier trunk maker in New York who started his craft in the 1850's. His son was the first to design and manufacture trunks for professional theater people, magicians, and musicians in 1880. The trunks were designed to transport the contents in the safest manner possible. This antique trunk from C A Taylor Trunk Works Professionalist XX series is a unique piece of history. It dates between 1880 and 1930 and was designed to transport a cello. It has been well-maintained and is in great working condition. It does not have the key, and one leather handle is missing. Wear is commensurate for a piece of this age. It is all original. The trunk is made of sturdy Basswood with a heavy canvas exterior and beautiful jappaned cast metal appointments. This RARE antique trunk is beautifully designed and outfitted with felt and all the necessary features to keep a cello safe during transport. The measurements are height of 16 inches, length of 56 1/2 inches, and width of 22 1/2 inches. Its style is perfect for antique lovers and cellist alike. This trunk is a great buy for anyone who appreciates antique items and wants to own a piece of musical history.
