About the Item

An exceptional pair of late 19th century Spanish campaign chests crafted from solid mahogany, featuring original recessed brass hardware and traditional hand-cut dovetail joinery. These chests exemplify the elegance and durability of campaign-style furniture, created for military officers during colonial campaigns and expeditions. Each chest comprises four drawers with flush-mounted solid brass pulls and protective brass corner mounts, emphasizing the piece’s utilitarian roots while maintaining refined craftsmanship. The rich mahogany has aged beautifully, developing a deep, lustrous patina. The drawers are constructed using traditional hand-cut dovetails—a hallmark of fine 19th century cabinetry—clearly visible in the exposed joinery. This technique, along with solid wood paneling and period-authentic brass fittings, verifies the chests’ age and artisanal origin. A rare Spanish maker’s stamp is present inside the drawer, further validating their provenance and manufacture in Spain during the late 1800s. Whether used as nightstands, side chests, or in a paired configuration as a dresser, these chests offer functionality, history, and timeless design. Construction Details: • Hand-cut dovetail joinery • Recessed brass campaign pulls • Brass corner brackets & Bracket feet • Stamped with “Made In Spain” Makers Mark • One-piece carcass construction (not modular) typical of late 19th century Spanish adaptations
