Here is a charming antique wooden trunk or chest completely covered in what is likely cow hide and decorated with metal studs. This distinctive looking chest would make a great decor item for any room, and offers ample storage. It is considerably worn throughout, given its considerable age, and may be a great candidate for restoration. It features antique metal hardware and hinges. Please see the photographs for some examples of the imperfections, which includes peeling hide, worn wood, and some rust. It is likely that the studs on the very top of the trunk once spelled out the initials of the original owner, but those and some other studs are missing
