Lot Description
Louis Vuitton 110cm Wardrobe Trunk, Late 19th Century
This trunk features the Initials P.P., likely for Pauline Palmer as her name is also listed on some of the paper labels adhered to the side. While this trunk does not also feature the initials for Bertha Palmer, the stripes of dark blue and red match the other trunks from the family and the overall design is similar.
Late 19th century wardrobe trunk in LV monogram stamped canvas, bound in wood slats with metal frame/sides, hardware, and handles, and brown leather handles at the top and bottom. The leather trim is marked with LV. The interior is lined in ivory canvas, with six removable drawers on the right side with leather straps marked "L.Vuitton". The left side is for hanging material and features nine hangers each marked "Louis Vuitton". There are several travel stickers on each of the sides. One of the stickers features "To Mrs. Potter Palmer / 1301 Astor Street / Chicago Illinois".
