Leather trunks remained relatively unaltered in form from the reign of Charles II through the reign of George II. Between 1750 and 1760, George II's coffer-maker, Edward Smith, supplied both the king and various members of the court with a large number of trunks covered with Russia leather (P. Macquoid and R. Edwards, The Dictionary of English Furniture, London, rev.ed., 1954, vol. II, p. 17).
