This is fascinating to me. I’ve always thought handwrought strap hinges were a sign of a pre-1850s construction date or pre-industrial revolution. But this trunk looks like it’s still has hand wrought strap hinges at a later date. I love that you can always learn something new every day. Thank you for sharing a wonderful trunks story.
