My old trunk is now lined and finished. It has been a huuuuge work but totally worth it and I am happy with the result as it has kept its antique look! After removing canvas and glue I sanded, cleaned and sealed with primor. I have used an natural rough linen and a vintage mattress ticking on edges (beige/white strippes). I also reused the lateral strap after cleaning and painting it (Aubusson blue ASCP). Silicone and pins have been used to hold fabrics. Last, I cleaned the metal trim with vinegar, painted white and waxed. I used black shoeshine in order to hide ugly marks on it and waxed afterwards. It is now in the entrance hall and currently being used as shoe and bag storage.
