I still think about 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 organizing with antique furniture [click this site] costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.

When I first stumbled across the circus clown trunk, I just stared. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a memory of a lost world — a travelling circus.

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.

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