Description
In the late 1700s and early 1800s round trunks became popular. Looking at them from the end they appear round, with a small flat base. They were covered in leather and hide and usually ornamented with brass tacks.
They were lined with a printed paper or often old newspapers.
They sometimes were made with a small brass handle on top and were made in many sizes.
A couple nice examples are at Mount Vernon, owned by George and Martha Washington.
