And then a screen repeated the past. A digital print crossed my path, and the image mirrored my clown antique chest (visit the next web page). When I saw this poster on ArtStation of this clown suitcase storage, it took me back. This is exactly the same storage trunk that I had.. The odd inversion, the softened edges of age matched line for line. I half-believed the artist had stood where I stood. Poster to panel, vintage trunk glare to patina: the story was the same heartbeat.

I spot travel chests in Hackney lofts and Mayfair halls. People use them at the end of a bed. Some call it vintage, but I call it still beating. A trunk keeps its place in the room. If you step into a shop and see one, don’t call it junk. Pick the trunk with a story, and let it carry you too. Then another chapter found me. Once a year the tents rose overnight and changed the air, and the posters glued to walls advertised elephants, acrobats, jugglers, and best storage trunk those painted clowns.

The feeling arrived days before the wagons. Wagons rattled the kerbs, and a tang of rope and canvas drifted everywhere. It was chaos and colour and a kind of magic. One day I came across a circus trunk, and I just stared. Painted on the panel, a clown face eclipsed by time. It refused to be a flourish. It felt like a voice from a lost world. Not just timber and iron, a splinter of that wandering life. So I let them live in my rooms, and I sweep around them. Metal warms.

And every time I pass, the upside-down clown catches my eye, as if asking when the tents go up again. And when the window fogs and clears, I think I hear both trunks laugh, and I remember the only lesson worth the weight: a trunk is never empty. There is a quiet that understands timing. I picture the trunk pushed against canvas, crammed with shoes, wigs, and greasepaint, waiting for the show to begin. All the scuffs on the hinges whisper of muddy fields and midnight load-outs.

You can almost feel the rush before the ringmaster’s call. We treat trunks like containers, but they carried lives before cheap plastic. They were made to survive knocks and weather. Timber sides, iron straps, deep latches. Some were touched with flourishes and pride. Lift the lid and you meet a story, you meet a life. Close it again and it keeps the secret.
