This authentic Louis Vuitton “Flower” trunk, circa 1920’s, was specifically crafted in the early 1900’s as a thank you gift for the most loyal and high end customers. Instead of sending floral bouquets, the Vuitton family felt it was more meaningful and relevant to send this very elegant miniature trunk including planted assorted flowers. It was then up to the customer to use this mini trunk as they were pleased, very often used a jewelery box, or even love letter case. It features monogram paper and brass hardware. As they were more delicate then the actual traveling trunks, very few remain to this day, making this piece a very rare collectable item. Very good condition considering age – Wears and marks, signs of use and travels.
