Varon’s Old Storage Trunk: A London Tale Of Travel And Time

I can’t forget when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin. Trunks aren’t just containers. They’re keepers of journeys. Before plastic tubs filled every house, trunks were the way people travelled.

Built solid, classic storage pieces (mouse click the following webpage) heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering. When I first stumbled across the circus clown trunk, I just stared. The hand-drawn clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a piece of a lost world — a carnival gone by.
