Antique Lady Bentinck Suitcase, Canvas Leather Hat Box, c1900 Luggage
$388.99
Exceptional and rare ladies travel suitcase/hat box, c1900, canvas and leather, made by A & NCSL 106 Victoria Street Westminster.
The case covered in heavy canvas with leather accents has the name "LADY BENTINCK" prominently displayed on the front.
The case has considerable but charming age and wear, one of the small straps needs attention, I will include a piece of leather for repair. .
The maker's label reads "MADE AT THE ARMY & NAVY CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETY LIMITED." It shows the manufacturer was A&NCSL (Army & Navy Co-operative Society Limited) with an address at 105 Victoria St, Westminster, S.W. This was a prestigious department store that served military officers and their families during the Victorian era and beyond.
Several interesting travel labels are applied to the case, including "REINA DEL PACIFICO" (which translates to "Queen of the Pacific," a passenger ship name) and references to P.S.N.C. (Pacific Steam Navigation Company) with "1st Class Baggage" and "CABIN" markings. These indicate this was luggage used for first-class travel to/from South America.
This suitcase belonged to Lady Bentinck, a member of the aristocratic Bentinck family, and was used for high-class international travel in the early 20th century.
The Bentinck family has historic connections to British nobility and the peerage.
The combination of the prestigious maker, aristocratic ownership, and " first-class "shipping labels makes this an interesting historical artifact telling the story of luxury travel during a bygone era.
The piece is heavy, hence the shipping cost.
Size: 11 inches high x 13 inches wide x 19 inches long. ( 28x 33x 48 cms)
