A Victorian-era dome-top steamer trunk, also known as a camel-back trunk, dating to the late 19th century. The trunk body is likely constructed from pine or poplar and is finished with a matte sage-green paint over a textured surface. The lid is reinforced with five bentwood slats, while the front and back feature three horizontal slats, likely made of ash or oak. The exterior is adorned with decorative cast metal hardware, including foliate-patterned stays, corner guards, and star-motif studs. A central black-finished metal latch is mounted on the front. The side handles consist of replacement tan leather straps secured by metal loops. The interior has been fully relined with a sage-green and pink floral pattern wallpaper, detailed with pink ribbon bows and a striped border. The lid interior contains an oval locket-style portrait of a young girl in Victorian dress, bordered by white lace trim. A handwritten inscription within a lace-bordered oval on the bottom interior reads by Lynda 1989 accompanied by a four-leaf clover symbol, indicating the date of restoration.
