Dome top trunks

They find their origin in chests of yesteryear. They are domed in one way or in both ways, like a barrel.
A trunk needs to be protected by slats and equipped with angles and corners (metal, brass, leather, raw skin, even sometimes cardboard). Trunks can be found starting around 1800, but often they date back to the development of travels around 1850 and after.

Most of them are around 80 cm wide, 50 cm high and 50 cm deep. Dome top drunks are seldom more than a meter high.
