Beautiful restoration. My great-grand parents brought their possessions from Ireland in trunks just like that one. The adults were allowed a full size trunk each and each child got a half-sized trunk. They brought a total of nine steamer trunks.

According to the Oxford Dictionary Restoration: the act of restoring something to a former or original condition. To repair, reconstruct, refurbish, rebuild. Therefore mission accomplished. And beyond that he has helped reduce landfill by restoring a piece most of us would never have imagined attempting to do.

The addition of the paper was spot on. The design emulated the pattern of the original lining of the chest, but on a somewhat larger scale. Quite a statement piece, and one can see that styling being used today.

That was pretty brutal dismantling of the trunk, but the finished effect was very good!

A dear friend had a chest at the foot of his guest room where I often stayed. Now he is gone,he always had a mildew scent he did not know how to remove but he lives again in this video for some reason. How he would have loved to see this restored piece. Thank you. It is wonderfully engrossing to see it come alive again. Stay well my friend who.

Wonderful craftmanship. Embellishments are everything on those steamer trunks. My only criticism is the wallpaper on the outside and whatever you used for the lining. That should've been fabric. The right choices there would've elevated it to a super luxe piece.

Wow what an amazing transformation 👍 watching you fill all those old nail holes I imagine would have taken some time. I liked all the finishing touches. Concert sounded great also. Well done my friend 👏👏👏👏

I have one in similar condition that has the original tooled leather wrap under the metal straps it is totally shrunk and brittle. Can’t decide whether to replace the leather or just refinish the wood and repaint the metal straps

Bizde adı çeyiz sandığı diye geçiyor. Çocukluğumda evde rahmetli anneanneden, 1900!lü yılların başından kalma yerel yapım bu sandığın başka bir modelinden vardı. Merak eder hep içine bakardım. Benim için hep hazine sandığı gibiydi ama içinde eski kumaşlardan başka bir şey yoktu :)). Ara sıra içinde saklandığım da olurdu. Toplumda antika zihniyeti olmadığından bu tür şeyler yayıntıdan başka bir şey değildi. Antikanın ileride değerli olacağı, manevi değeri hakkında kimsenin fikri yoktu. Ailesi Mısır'dan göç eden arkadaşım anlatmıştı, Yavuz Sultan Selim Mısır seferinde kullandığı üzerinde kendi turası olan seccadesi ve turası olan hamam tasını o dönem orada yaşayan ailesine hediye etmiş. Aile soyu galiba 19. yüzyılın sonlarında yaşadığımız şehre göç ediyor. Aile büyüğü anneannesi yaşlanıyor. 1970'li yıllarda atalarından miras kalan hediyeleri hurdacıya satarken yakalamış ve engel olmuş ama bir hafta sonra hurdacıya satmış. Niye yaptın diye sorduğunda, evde yayıntı yapıyor , eski püskü şeyleri evde ne yapayım demiş!!!! Kolay gelsin....

Emeğine ve eline sağlık... Ayrıca udiye ve sesine de teşekkürler...
