I loved your video and wish I had found it before I restored a nearly identical -- and my first -- trunk! Thank you for your notes that it's waterproof waxed canvas. I couldn't figure out what its cover is. So, this means good news, no lead paint? I watched a couple of other restoration videos, one of which used Tung Oil, so that's what I used on my trunk, including the whole outside. Funny story, I accidentally locked mine, and another DIY restorer with a near-identical trunk did the same thing! My handy husband was able to fashion a makeshift key, and I'm hoping a locksmith might be able to make a real one! Thanks again!

The Angelus leather paint should fill the scratches. Can be applied multiple times, but leave enough time for drying before the next layer is applied.

@biro_restoration3 жыл бұрын
Thanks :) Most of theese trunks have interior papers, could have just painted it, but tried to be as close to the original as possible. Some people prefer optics over the authenticity, i choose the later, but it's up to the person. Removed the handles because I needed to restore the leather. not sure if you are talking about those...

Thanks for the likes. Actually I'm working on a project were I'm gilding furniture with 24K gold leaves. It's not expensive but quite hard to master. You could try with metalic acrylic gold paint as well. Honestly, If it's not in very bad shape, would keep it as it is, maybe some Owatrol Oil, looks more authentic.

Your family did an awesome job on this steamer trunk. Question: in the video you said you used wall paper, however, it looked like contact paper since the backing was peeled? Inherited a massive trunk collection and I know very little about them but would like to restore them. I have one identical to the one in your video. I also opened one that is similar size but has drawers in it. Is it also called a steamer trunk?
@biro_restoration3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the like. On german amazon you can have wallpapers with adhesive back. Regarding your trunk, most probably it is, the term is quite generic, and was used for reinforced trunks, usually covered with waterproof waxed canvas. The boats transporting them around those times were steamer boats, hence the name.
