Louis Vuitton Car Trunk

Presenting the epitome of automotive elegance, this trunk stands as one of Louis Vuitton's most iconic and classic designs. Originally crafted specifically for automobiles, it graced the rear of cars with its unmistakable presence.

The rings encircling the perimeter of the trunk served to secure it in place during journeys, allowing a rope to be threaded through for added stability. Notably, the rare front lock cover was designed to prevent issues with dirt and mud. Every handle adorning this trunk is original, featuring an elongated shape to provide enhanced leverage when opening, even if they had succumbed to oxidation or become encrusted with dirt.

Wrapped in exquisite black waxed and vulcanized canvas, this trunk exudes a timeless allure that withstands the test of time.

Period: France 1910's circa
