Rare Luxury Storage Trunks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Bidding for Louis Vuitton's 'Aluminum Explorer Trunk' Starts at $63,000

— December 8, 2018 — Luxury
Collectors of unique designer furniture have been bidding on the rare Aluminum Explorer Trunk from Louis Vuitton, which dates back to the year 1892. Bidding starts at $63,000 USD, and those interested in putting in their asking price can do so on the Christie's online auctioning website.

As Uncrate explains, only a small selection of the Aluminum Explorer Trunks were produced back in 1892, and today only two of them remain. The first is said to belong to the Louis Vuitton Foundation that's in Paris, while the second is the one being auctioned. The trunks are made from a combination of aluminum and wood, with the first material seen as an impressive status symbol to own back when it was produced due to "its expensive processing methods."
Trend Themes
1. Luxury Furniture Collecting - The increasing rareness of luxury furniture pieces presents opportunities for collectors to invest in and resell to interested parties.
2. Antique Auctioning - Online auctions for rare antique items like the Louis Vuitton Aluminum Explorer Trunk can disrupt the traditional auctioning process.
