Louie's great grandmother Batille brought this trunk from France all the way to Reading, Kansas in the late 19th century. It is empty, but I am cleaning it up and will stash some family heirlooms in it for my son. I am disciplining myself to gathering just one trunk full of stuff.
That is a beautiful thing!
Oooh – trunks! I only have room in my house for the three I own, but that one is very nice, especially with its known family history!
That is a handsome piece of furniture. I bet it is a heavy one.Does its lock work well, too?
Wouldn’t you love to know what Grandma Batille brought over in it?
