When I first stumbled across the circus clown trunk, shop antique chest 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.
Trunks aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re keepers of journeys. Before suitcases rolled through airports, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
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.
