About - Vintage Trunks & Chests

Furniture with Form & Function

Working from our garden workshop on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds we restore antique and vintage trunks & chests to provide furniture with form and function for the modern home. Whether you're looking for a quirky vintage trunk, a statement coffee table, a traditional antique chest or a sustainable storage solution we're here for you!

We conserve, restore and repair, practicing conservation over restoration wherever possible and completing any necessary repair work meticulously, respecting the integrity of the individual piece. Using reclaimed, traditionally made and locally sourced materials where we can we do our best to ensure each finished item functions as intended so most of our trunks and chests come with a working lock and key. Everything we produce is hand-finished to the highest standard using traditional time-honoured methods.

It makes us really happy to rescue these incredible pieces of history and work hard to give them a new lease of life, preserving each item to be passed on to, and enjoyed by, future generations. We believe that when you buy antique or vintage you buy character and uniqueness - you make an investment in the past and that investment pays dividends! Antiques were made by skilled craftsmen and they were built to last.. they don't depreciate like new items but rather hold their value. This is so important in today's world since as well as being the sustainable option, therefore good for the planet, it's also a savvy economic choice so good for your pocket!

We now undertake restoration commissions.. please contact us to ask about our very own 'Repair Shop' service! We can also source & restore your choice of trunk or chest to order - just drop us a line with your requirements and we will begin our search for your perfect piece of furniture. You can see examples of our previous work on our website at vintagetrunksandchests.co.uk (in the Gallery) and on Instagram @vintagetandc

NEW PRODUCT LINES COMING IN 2023! Due to growing demand we are adding to our range of made to order products this year including trunk coffee tables, storage chests and coat racks - these are all fully customisable and we will happily work with you to create your own bespoke design.

Thanks so much for reading about us and what we do -
