The wardrobe trunk, which is flat on all sides, is among the largest and heaviest ever made. Designed to stand on end for packing or open use, wardrobe trunks are usually equipped with drawers, clothes hangers, a shoebox, sometimes an ironing board and iron. Most wardrobe trunks were made in the 1920s and 1930s, however some exampled date nearer to the turn of the century.
