What comes with us, and how should it be carried? A travelling case brings the familiar into a changing setting. Its proportions follow the objects, the journey and the rhythm of opening and closing.
An imagined sea journey within the Leuchars world.
A familiar order, elsewhere
The room within.
A cabin, a bedroom, a desk borrowed for an evening. Travel changes the setting; the case brings a small measure of familiarity. What matters is what comes with you, and how naturally it finds its place on arrival.
Carry. Open. Return.
A useful arrangement begins with the objects. Handles, hinges, loaded balance and removable trays determine how a case moves from hand to table, and how easily each piece is reached.
Historic cases need individual assessment before transport. Repaired joints, loose linings and fragile contents may limit use; a surviving original is not necessarily suitable for modern baggage handling.

What comes with you?
An imagined dressing-room setting.
The familiar morning.
Brushes, bottles and the small rituals that make a room feel personal.
The railway, sea, dressing-room and study scenes are imagined settings within the Leuchars world, not photographs of historic premises or sale products. Historical objects and their sources are identified in the Archive. Availability, materials and condition of any offered piece are stated in its individual description.
Look closer
A particular object. A personal question.
