Large steamer trunk by Goyard in their signature 'Goyardine' chevron pattern canvas covering with polished brass lock, catches & handles; circa 1910.
All of the leather trim on the trunk, except the front and one of the sides of the band that runs around the edge of the lid, has been replaced by our restorer in an exact copy of the original trim. We have relined the interior of the lid in a fashion that replicates the original lining and kept the original interior trays.
Our research into this trunk revealed the name Charles Carroll Glover, a prominent American banker and philanthropist that played a huge part in creating the modern landscape of Washington D.C. While we cannot be certain, we believe this trunk could have been part of Charles or his family's collection.
As president of Riggs Bank Glover generously donated land and money to the city's development, contributing heavily to parks and monuments including the National Cathedral, National Zoo and Rock Creek Park.
James M. Goode, a historian of Washington, D.C., wrote of him: "Few if any native Washingtonians have left a more positive and lasting contribution to the city than Charles C. Glover Sr., who gave of his wealth (before the days of income-tax deductions for philanthropy) to the future public good."
Dimensions: 110 cm/43¼ inches (length) x 56 cm/22 inches (depth) x 56.5 cm/22¼ inches (height).
About Goyard
In 1792, Pierre-François Martin founded a company called Maison Martin, specializing in box-making, trunk-making, and packing. This happened long before the golden age of trunk-makers, which arrived in the late 19th century.
Robert entered into a cooperative agreement with the grand Maisons in the Place Vendôme, including Boucheron, Cartier, Charvet, Chaumet, Guerlain, Morgan, and the Ritz, in 1936, cementing the Maison's place in the Parisian luxury landscape. The cooperative's offices were located in Goyard’s headquarters at 233, Rue Saint-Honoré.
