Louis Vuitton courier trunk circa 1900, crafted in woven jacquard monogram canvas with steel borders and its original metal side handles, reflecting the strength and quality of the Maison’s early productions. A painted red family stripe encircles the trunk, a period personalization used so staff could instantly identify their employer’s luggage among many similar pieces.

This example features an elegant narrow courier format, now highly sought after for its balanced proportions and versatility in contemporary interiors. The interior is lined in cotton canvas with a padded lid and retains its original Louis Vuitton label and serial number. In good overall condition for its age, the delicate jacquard canvas shows a beautiful patina, making this trunk an ideal coffee table, side trunk, or end-of-bed piece while preserving the charm of early Louis Vuitton travel.
