The Harbourmaster Trunk is a substantial storage piece with the warmth and character of reclaimed elm, finished with simple metal hardware that gives it a quietly nautical, old-world feel. Its generous proportions make it useful as more than storage alone — equally at home at the foot of a bed, in a hallway, or used as a distinctive coffee table. The reclaimed timber brings natural variation in grain, tone and marking, giving each trunk an individual, lived-in character. Solid, practical and enduring, it fits naturally within the relaxed heritage style of the Blackwood Boathouse collection.

Why This Piece Endures
-
Designed for rooms that need both character and function — works particularly well in bedrooms, living rooms, entrances and relaxed coastal interiors.

Character that improves with age — existing knots, grain variation and imperfections are part of the reclaimed timber story, helping the piece feel established rather than newly manufactured.
