Antique Marshall Field & Company Chicago Wardrobe Steamer TrunkA Remarkable Piece of American Travel History
Some antiques quietly blend into a room.
Others become the room.
This authentic Marshall Field & Company wardrobe steamer trunk has spent well over a century collecting stories—from luxury train travel to family moves and, eventually, life as a cherished decorative piece in our own home.
We found this trunk while attending an antique event near Tulsa, Oklahoma. We immediately fell in love with its presence. For several years it has been one of those conversation pieces that everyone notices and asks about.
Now we're ready for someone else to write its next chapter.

Imagine It...
This piece has endless possibilities beyond its original purpose.

• Whiskey or cocktail cabinet conversion

• Linen cabinet
• Airbnb or loft décor
• Library statement piece

Few pieces combine history, function, and character quite like an original wardrobe trunk.
Condition
This trunk is being sold in unrestored vintage condition.
It shows honest wear accumulated over decades of travel and use including:
• Scratches
• Scuffs
• Surface rust on hardware
• Worn leather handle
• Age-related finish wear
• Interior fabric wear
These imperfections are exactly what give the trunk its authentic character and appeal.
Structurally, it remains solid.
