Paint applied over wood and then weathered gives this trunk its worn coastal look, layered in several colors rather than one flat coat. Measuring 29 inches long and 18.25 high, it holds enough for a household's board games, extra blankets, and stored books, with riveted edging bracing the corners.
Metal rivets run along the edges where a trunk takes the most abuse, and an anchor-shaped clasp holds the hinged lid down at the front. Decorative ring handles at either end give two people a grip when 29 inches of loaded chest has to move between rooms.
The larger footprint, 29 by 16.5 inches at the base, swallows things that defeat a basket: quilts, stacked board games, boots, and boxed heirlooms. Standing 18.25 inches tall the closed lid lands near sofa seat height, so it can serve as a side surface at the end of a couch.
The finish combines several paint tones over sturdy wood, then wears them back so the grain shows through, a look that belongs in vintage, rustic, and coastal rooms. Each piece is finished by hand, so the color distribution differs between trunks and will not match a photograph exactly.
