When I first saw the circus clown trunk, wooden storage trunk I just stared. The hand-drawn clown staring upside down across the front felt like more than decoration. It felt like a piece of a lost world — an old fairground life. The funny thing is, even though this trunk looks distressed, it works in a modern home. Neutral rooms actually make the colours pop. The scratches and paint chips add contrast you can’t buy in a shop. I remember 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, large storage trunk stuffed with costumes and props, antique chest (sell) waiting for the show to begin. Old storage boxes aren’t just containers. They’re time capsules. Before cheap mass storage appeared, trunks were the way people travelled. Built solid, heavy duty, sometimes decorated with brass corners or painted lettering.
