Old storage boxes aren’t just containers. They’re time capsules. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, art station website heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
The funny thing is, even though this trunk looks beat-up, it works in a modern home. Minimal interiors actually make the colours pop. The scratches and paint chips add contrast you can’t buy in a shop.
When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I froze for a moment. The red-nosed clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a memory of a lost world — a travelling circus.
I remember when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, wooden storage trunk 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.
