They were also known as travelling chests or simply chest. However, chests were considered to be more elegant and neat unlike the trunks used for this specific purpose. With modernization in terms of travelling the original use no longer prevails in developed countries rather they can be cherished as precious decorative items for domestic use.



Even today what we see is a continued Chinese form of trunks which became popular from eighteenth century onwards. These trunks used to have a pine base covered with more material and some of the expensive ones used to be covered with leather giving more of a vintage look but latest according to that era. Many coverings used to be paper, tin or other hardwood material attached for the purpose of trunk strength.

Today a trunk is a great piece of decoration and a good ornament for your house. Therefore, with changing times we do see many variations of decorative trunks as they are available in many designs, shapes and sizes.
