Why Old Trunks Fascinate Me

I can’t forget when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, metal storage trunk acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, ArtStation stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.

When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, I froze for wooden storage trunk a moment. The red-nosed 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.

Chests aren’t just containers. They’re pieces of history. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
