Old Map Chests Set of 3

Old map panels, deep red edges and brass fittings give this wood and MDF decorative box set the feeling of a small traveller’s archive. Use the three chests for jewellery, keepsakes, letters or gift wrapping, then leave them on a shelf or dresser where their vintage-style character becomes part of the room.

Map-print chests with an old-world mood

• The aged map design brings a library-like warmth to a bedside table, writing desk or hallway console.
• Deep red sides and strap details frame the printed panels, giving each chest a trunk-inspired look.
• Brass fittings and stud details add a little gleam without making the set feel polished or new.
• Leather handles make the larger chests feel closer to travel trunks than ordinary storage boxes.
• The three sizes work well together, or can be placed in different rooms for small daily treasures.

Made as vintage-style replicas

The chests are made from MDF and wood, with brass fittings and leather handles. They are designed as replica antiques, aged for a timeworn finish rather than a flawless modern surface.

Expect small differences in design, size and finish. That variation is part of the vintage-style effect, especially on a set made to look already lived with.

Everyday storage with character

Use them for jewellery, postcards, stationery, tea sachets, small keepsakes or thoughtful gift presentation. They are decorative boxes first, so they suit visible storage rather than heavy-duty use.

How to place and care for them

Keep the chests in a dry indoor space and wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking the surface or leaving them in prolonged damp, as MDF and wood are not made for moisture.

For a calmer display, group the three together with the largest at the back. For a more collected look, let one sit on a bookshelf, one beside the bed and one on a desk.

The travel-trunk influence

The design draws on the romance of old map cases, steamer trunks and campaign-style storage, where practical boxes became part of a room’s atmosphere. This is a vintage-inspired reproduction, not a genuine antique, so the pleasure is in the look: aged maps, dark red panels, metal fittings and the sense of something brought back from a long journey. It has an old-world feel without asking for antique-level care.
