Strap Maker's Mark |
Brass Lock Plate |
| Absolutely the top of the
line - Jenny Linds are the most beautiful and treasured antique trunks of
all times. They were named for Jenny Lind, the "Swedish Nightingale" that
captured the heart of America in the mid 19th Century.
Jenny Lind was
the most popular and beloved entertainer of that period. It would not be an
exaggeration to say that she was the original Super Star. Upon her American
tour in the 1850s, her trunks were immediately copied by trunk makers all
over. She became so famous that not only the trunk style but household
items, buildings, streets, even a town was named for her. This is one of the
nicest representatives of the JL family we've ever had. It's all original
except the new leather handles, even the original tray is inside. Note the
large brass lock plate and the liberal use of brass buttons on black metal
straps. This particular trunk has something very rarely found; the maker of
the metal bands stamped their company name-J. Bagnall and Sons into some of
the straps. This company made straps for many Jenny Lind trunk makers. Note
too the beautiful warm tones in the pine body of the trunk, enhanced by lots
of pine knots. This is a beautiful trunk inside and out so it probably won't
stay in the Showroom long. Just give us a call, toll-free on 1-877-653-8786
