English Naval dockyard campaign chest

About the Item

Victorian Naval dockyard chest This Victorian Naval dockyard chest was made in the last quarter of the 19th century. Made in 2 parts so this was easily transported to and around the British naval Dockyards or to be used in ships quarters. It is made of teak, a timber that is durable and resistant to sea water, most important for their use. Each drawer has the inset brass handles, that were fitted to cause little obstruction when they were to be put into packing crates for journeys on the British fleet.. The Victorian Naval dockyard chest has the original turned peg feet. This style of chest used to be found in homes in or around the Naval cities of Plymouth and Portsmouth after they were disposed of in the 1920’s by the Royal Navy, now they are difficult to find in good condition. Just imagine the life this has had and now is ready to be a fantastic asset in your home. 91cms wide 36ins 47cms deep 18 1/2ins 108cms high 42 1/2ins All Measurements are as accurate as possible.
