Steamer trunks were first made in the late 1870s, but the majority were produced between the 1880s and 1920s. They were named after their storage location in the cabin of a steamboat.
I have lovingly restored this item and found a modern, practical use for it - as a wine, cocktail and drinks bar! Whether you are a wine connoisseur, a cocktail bar expert or simply want a unique bar for your space, this piece perfectly fits all decor.
Since chests and trunks date to Medieval times, we don't flatter ourselves that we have the only one that's ever-held libations-but ours is certainly the most ingeniously outfitted and easily transported! On the outside, our vintage style, stateroom wardrobe steamer trunk is wrapped in a replica William Morris "Strawberry Thief" decoupage then fitted with 6 wheels on ball bearing casters so that it can be easily wheeled out for your parties and functions. On the inside, the cabinet opens to reveal a full-sized, double-sided bar. One half boasts a fixed art deco style wine rack which can house 11 bottles of wine, a bottom deep and tall shelf suitable to house large bottles of spirits and 3 original drawers suitable for holding linens, barware, snacks, napkins ect. The top drawer has an attached vintage bird bottle opener on decorative ribbon to ensure that this never gets lost. The facing section is outfitted with a solid oak, waney edge, fold out shelf so you have plenty of space to mix those cocktails! There is another fitted shelf at the bottom suitable for holding more wine, beer, cans or other bottles of your choice. To complete the look, you'll find a sensor operated light to give the piece that extra WOW factor!
I have finished off the top of the trunk with a bluey green, gold and white marble effect resin pour making this yet ANOTHER surface where you can rest your glasses!
This functional work of furniture art is easily stored out of the way and moved to the forefront when friends land in your port called Happy Hour. A stunning piece!
Dimensions of the cabinet are as follows:
Height: 104cm
Width: 104cm (when fully opened)
Depth: 41cm
If you like this piece but it is not exactly what you're looking for in terms of colour and design, did you know that I also offer a custom service? So, if you have a special piece you'd love to restyle, or would prefer this piece in a different design, please send me a message today. I am also able to source steamer trunks for you if you are looking for a particular design (although please note that these are hard to come by).
As this is a vintage piece and I have tried to keep as many original features as possible, this item may show some minor signs of its' age.
We will notify you when a similar item becomes available.

All went well and we love the cabinet.
It’s looks great in our new dining room .
It’s lovely. Perfect for our newly decorated hallway thank you
We love the piece Wendy has created for us. We went to her house to collect it on Sunday morning. She has done a great job on it and it works perfectly in the space for which it was intended. I've sent you a text message with the photo.
So, a huge thank you to you for connecting us back up with her. Thanks to you we have a beautiful chest that we love. She told us the story of the courier theft - there's some horrible people in the world.
It was great to meet her and to see some of her other work too.
Thanks for all your help.
The drawers are amazing! Lyn went above and beyond to make it a pleasurable experience. I am very grateful!

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
