TICKS ALL THE BOXES
This turn of the century trunk was made by Boston saddle maker Robert Burr. This hide-covered wooden box was designed to keep treasured possessions safe. There's no key for the lock on this vintage find now, but that doesn't mean it's still not a great piece to add to your Western home decor!
