Refurbished Antique Trunks

What is a refurbished trunk?

Refurbished antique trunks are trunks manufactured in colonial America between 1830 and 1910 that have been brought back to life after many years of being stored in basements, attics or garages. The refurbishing process includes a complete strip down, cleaning, deodorizing, removing rust from metal parts, sanding the wood, furnishing necessary parts, tung oil or staining of the outside wood, relining the inside according to the “Stevens Method” and finally coating the outside with polyurethane. The process takes an average of 52 hours per trunk from start to finish, depending on the size of the trunk, and its special needs.

Present day uses of refurbished antique trunks:

Refurbished antique trunks, properly done, make very handsome useful and attractive pieces of furniture. It is a great way to preserve a treasured heirloom from grandparents or parents that can be handed down to the children of the family. They can be used as coffee tables with storage capacity, a display of American history from the colonial days, storage facilities for anything imaginable, hope chests, doll trunks etc. showing the high quality of American made goods manufactured in colonial times.

The cost of refurbishing an antique trunk:

There is a distinct difference between restoring an antique trunk and refurbishing an antique trunk. Restoring a trunk literally means re-establishing it to its original state. Restoring may entail tearing down all its parts and putting it together, like a puzzle, making it look like new. The restoring process is practically not feasible because it would be time consuming and not cost effective. Refurbishing, as outlined above, is the next best solution to breathing new life into your treasured old trunk.

The cost to refurbish an antique trunk by the Stevens Antique Trunks Company is based on labor, parts, material and its size. Not all old trunks can be refurbished because so many may be beyond repair due to the overexposure to time and the elements. To get an estimate of the cost to refurbish your antique trunk, please call 201-768-1463.
