About the Item
USA, ca. 1930s or 1940s. An incredibly well-built campaign chest or field desk. Features solid wood construction with three large dovetailed drawers and one deep cabinet. Heavy iron pulls and corner braces enhance overall rugged appeal. Top flips open to reveal a large work surface with clever self-storing supports. Removable tubular iron legs can also be added for a more permanent look. Would make a great addition to any home office, guest bedroom, etc. Lightly refurbished to preserve patina and ensure functionality, the condition is overall excellent - with appropriate and appealing signs of age.
While we have not been able to track down the green and red painted emblem, it is most likely of Red Cross, military, or scouting origins.

Antique English Jacobean Oak Chest
Located in Cambridge, US
England, ca. late 17th century. A fabulous antique Jacobean or Charles II style chest on stand. Features solid oak construction with a planked top with moulded edge above two small and two large geometrically paneled drawers. Cast brass drop handles and escutcheons are most likely replacements but are period and stylistically correct. (This is not uncommon as brasses were often sold or melted down in times of conflict.) Supported by an unusual separate arched base that includes two narrow drawers and turned bun feet.
An attractive survivor perfectly suited to a variety of interiors, we were drawn to the piece’s dark finish and dramatic - yet lovely - presence. From the estate of the Cambridge-born explorer, photographer, and mountaineer Henry Bradford Washburn, Jr. (1910-2007), whose family traced their roots back to Mayflower passenger William Brewster...
