Vintage 1880s English Crested Silver Plate Coopered Biscuit Barrel Trunk and Michel FrancoThis substantial English biscuit barrel from the 1880s is distinguished by its heavy silver plate construction and richly detailed coopered design. Multiple decorative silver plate bands wrap the body, while a graceful swinging handle and fitted lid complete its classic Victorian silhouette.
