A superb example of an early 20th century Goyard hat trunk, beautifully finished in the brand’s iconic chevron canvas. This unusually sized trunk is in very good condition and evokes the elegance and refinement of first-class travel during the golden age of passenger ships. The trunk’s distinctive design, with its structured form, leather trim, and brass fittings, not only ensured the safe transport of prized hats but also reflected the luxurious lifestyle of its original owners. Its generous proportions make it a striking statement piece, perfect for use as a display item, coffee table, or standalone accent in both modern and traditional interiors. This trunk is as much a historical artefact as it is a functional piece, offering a tangible connection to a bygone era of sophistication and travel glamour.
Goyard, founded in 1792 in Paris, is one of the oldest luxury trunk makers in the world. Known for its masterful craftsmanship and discreet elegance, Goyard quickly gained a reputation among aristocrats and wealthy travellers for producing bespoke trunks, luggage, and travel accessories of unparalleled quality. The signature chevron canvas, developed in the 19th century, became a hallmark of the brand, combining durability with distinctive visual appeal. Even today, Goyard remains a symbol of refined luxury, valued for both its heritage and the exceptional skill that goes into every piece it produces.
