Old storage boxes aren’t just wooden boxes. They’re time capsules. Before suitcases rolled through airports, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, shop antique chest heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering. When I first stumbled across the circus clown trunk, I froze for a moment. The painted face staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a fragment of a lost world — an old fairground life.

I still think about when the circus came to town once a year. Posters glued to walls promised elephants, fire breathers, acrobats — and always clowns. Looking at the trunk feels like it was there backstage, stuffed with costumes and props, waiting for the show to begin.
