Farmhouse trunks — rustic solid wood, black iron, built to export standards.
Wholesale farmhouse-style storage and coffee-table trunks in reclaimed old wood and mango, finished in whitewash, greige and distressed tones with matte-black wrought-iron straps. One compliant, container-ready source for a high-margin look US and EU buyers search for.
Rustic, honest and handmade — the look, built on a real solid-wood carcass.
Farmhouse style is about warmth and authenticity: planked solid wood with visible grain, muted or whitewashed colour, and simple black iron hardware that looks like it earns its keep. A farmhouse trunk does two jobs at once — closed storage and a coffee-table or end-of-bed surface — in a silhouette that reads as travelled and genuine. We build ours on a true solid-wood frame in reclaimed old wood, mango, acacia or sheesham, with real wrought-iron strapping and corner brackets rather than printed foil over particleboard. That build quality is the cue retail shelves, Wayfair listings and hotel rooms need, and it is what separates an exportable farmhouse trunk from a decorative one.

The farmhouse palette
Whitewash and limewash, soft grey and greige, natural-oil honey and distressed dry-brushed paint — neutral, muted tones that sit in modern-farmhouse, coastal and transitional interiors without fighting them.
Honest hardware
Matte-black wrought-iron straps, corner brackets, drop handles and a simple hasp latch — functional, hand-forged detailing that defines the farmhouse silhouette and takes real-world use.
Reclaimed-wood hero
Old-wood planks with naturally weathered grain carry the farmhouse story best — and are deforestation-free, which clears customs cleanly and sells hard to sustainability-led buyers.
Why reclaimed and mango carry the farmhouse look.
The style depends on grain character and finish-holding, so wood choice matters. Each timber below is a genuine production option; most buyers pair reclaimed or mango for the farmhouse range.
| Wood | Character & benefit for farmhouse trunks |
|---|---|
| Reclaimed old wood | Naturally weathered, varied planks with built-in patina and nail-hole character — the most authentic farmhouse look, and deforestation-free for EUDR and Lacey. |
| Mango | Warm, open grain that takes whitewash, greige and distressed paint beautifully; fast-renewing and cost-advantaged — the workhorse of the painted farmhouse range. |
| Acacia | Dense and hard-wearing with strong figure; ideal where the finish is natural oil and the grain is the feature rather than paint. |
| Sheesham (Indian rosewood) | Dense, close-grained and stable for a premium, long-life carcass; CITES-compliant and Vriksh-verified, finished in honey or soft grey. |

Use cases across the home and the hotel floor.
The neutral palette and dual-function build make the farmhouse trunk one of the most placeable pieces in a catalogue — it works in almost every room and every channel.
Living room
A flat-lid coffee-table trunk anchors the sofa and hides throws, remotes and games — the volume seller for home retail and online storefronts.
Bedroom
An end-of-bed blanket box in whitewash or greige stores linen and completes a modern-farmhouse bedroom set.
Entryway & mudroom
A compact hall trunk takes boots, bags and throws, and seats one — practical storage with the farmhouse look.
Hospitality rooms
Luggage-bench and room trunks in distressed wood give boutique hotels and resorts authentic character that takes commercial use.
Retail & décor
Graduated nesting sets ship as one SKU and merchandise as a stacked display — strong perceived value on the shelf.

Finishes that keep the farmhouse look through real use.
Our farmhouse finishes are chosen to age gracefully rather than wear badly. Natural-oil and wax tones can be refreshed with a periodic re-oil; whitewash and painted surfaces are sealed with a matt protective topcoat so they wipe clean and resist ring-marks. We advise buyers and their end-customers to dust with a dry or barely-damp cloth, avoid soaking and harsh solvents, keep trunks out of direct prolonged sun to hold colour, and use the lift-out tray or fabric lining where contents need protection. Because the carcass is solid wood, a knock or scuff sands and touches up — it does not de-laminate like veneer. Each piece is QC-checked for lid fit, hinge action and hardware fixing before it is packed.
| Finish | Care & behaviour |
|---|---|
| Natural oil / wax | Re-oil periodically; warms and deepens with age |
| Whitewash / limewash | Matt-sealed; wipe clean; soft, lived-in patina |
| Distressed paint | Intentional wear hides everyday marks |
| Reclaimed grain | Each piece unique; character is the feature |
| Black iron hardware | Dry-wipe; hand-forged, re-fixable fittings |
Import-ready farmhouse trunks — paperwork handled before you ask.
Farmhouse trunks are usually built from reclaimed wood and sheesham — exactly the timbers customs officers scrutinise for legality, deforestation and formaldehyde. We build our documentation around it: geolocated, deforestation-free sourcing, Vriksh-verified and CITES-compliant sheesham, FSC chain-of-custody and CARB / TSCA-compliant finishes. Reclaimed old wood is deforestation-free by nature, which makes the farmhouse range one of the easiest to clear into the EU and US. Certificate details are shared directly with serious buyers, never published.

What makes a trunk farmhouse style?
A farmhouse trunk reads as rustic, lived-in and handmade: a solid-wood plank carcass (usually reclaimed old wood or mango) in a warm, muted or whitewashed finish, with matte-black wrought-iron straps, corner brackets and latch, and visible grain, saw marks or gentle distressing. The palette is neutral and the hardware is honest and functional — the opposite of a glossy, machine-perfect box. We build the look on a genuine solid-wood frame, not veneered particleboard.
Which woods and finishes are used for farmhouse trunks?
We build farmhouse trunks in reclaimed old wood, mango, acacia and sheesham. The signature finishes are whitewash and limewash, soft grey and greige, natural-oil honey tones and distressed or dry-brushed paint — all using CARB / TSCA Title VI formaldehyde-compliant coatings. Hardware is matte-black wrought iron: straps, corner brackets, drop handles and a simple hasp latch.
What is the minimum order for farmhouse trunks?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL (part-container) so you can approve the wood, finish and distressing first. For best wholesale pricing thereafter, one 20ft full container load is our standard minimum. Trunks stack and nest densely, so one container holds a high unit count — and you can consolidate farmhouse trunks with benches, chests and décor in a single mixed load.
Can you make farmhouse trunks to our own size, finish and brand?
Yes. We are both ODM (buy from our ready catalogue) and OEM (we build to your drawings). Custom dimensions, whitewash or paint colour, interior lining, hinges, hasp and handle style, and private-label branding with retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready or gift packaging are all standard. Custom CNC and hand-finishing let us match a reference piece or develop a signature farmhouse line.
Are your farmhouse trunks compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. We document FSC chain-of-custody, Vriksh timber-legality and CITES-compliant handling of sheesham, with ISO quality management, SGS inspection and SEDEX / SMETA social audit. We are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence, and we support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing.
Do you offer farmhouse coffee-table trunks and nesting sets?
Yes. Flat-lid coffee-table trunks, end-of-bed blanket boxes, hall and entryway trunks, and graduated nesting sets of two or three are all part of the farmhouse range — in reclaimed, whitewashed and distressed-painted styles with black iron hardware. Reclaimed old wood is the deforestation-free hero line and sells especially well to US and EU buyers.
