When I first laid eyes on the circus clown trunk, shop antique chest I stopped in my tracks. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a piece of a lost world — a carnival gone by.
I still think about when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued where to buy a vintage trunk walls promised elephants, fire breathers, vintage trunk 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.
Chests aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re time capsules. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
