    Description
    This description has been translated and may not be completely accurate. Click here to see the original

    Dans le tumulte was much more than a simple container: it was a true travel companion, a silent witness to 19th-century maritime travel, a camphor trunk made in India for the journeys of sailors and explorers.
    Camphor, an exotic wood prized for its natural properties of resistance and protection against insects, gave these trunks a sturdiness appreciated for facing the sometimes perilous crossings.
    This trunk is strengthened by brass straps and corner reinforcements, providing extra solidity against the shocks of travel.
    The authenticity of this piece is confirmed by its period lock, guaranteeing the security of its contents, and by its inlaid boat handle, typical of marine accessories.
    Bronze handles on each side provide a secure and comfortable grip, making this piece of marine furniture easy to transport.
    This trunk embodies a fragment of the past, a piece of history and craftsmanship that links us to a time when exploration and maritime trade were at the heart of cultural and economic exchanges.
    Such a piece invites us to imagine the tales it might whisper to us, between exotic ports and long ocean crossings.
