About the Item

Magnificent and rare navy chest of drawers opening six drawers in four rows including the one in the center at the top revealing a small removable secretary with leather top, a theater with drawers and niches. English work from the end of the 19th century stamped “Army & Navy CSL makers” on an ivory plaque embedded on the edge of the upper right drawer. Each lock is engraved by the locksmith Hoobs&Ce London with the serial number 1950. Work of exceptional quality Very good condition despite its traces of use not devoid of charm - the keys are missing Very beautiful blond mahogany "The Army & Navy Store Co -Operative Society Limited was established in 1871 by a group of army and navy officers to sell all kinds of products as a cooperative. Membership was limited to officers, non-commissioned officers and their families. Friends could join on recommendation as well as civil servants and clubs. Premises were opened at 105 Victoria Street and the company quickly grew into a very large business with depots at major military bases and ports. Due to high demand from members in India, a store was opened in Bombay in 1891, followed by Karachi in 1892 and Calcutta in 1901. The company also manufactured or commissioned a number of items that it sold. This is especially true for travel furniture and luggage etc. It also appears that the A&N CSL workshops were able to supply other retailers such as Harrods. Although many London country furniture manufacturers produced similar items, a number of pieces sold by Harrods bear a striking similarity to those marked A&N CSL. However, the Army & Navy Store tended to label their items while this was less of a concern for Harrods. Four-digit reference numbers are often stamped on parts sold by both companies. The A&N CSL has used a variety of different labels and stamps throughout its history, but most commonly the designation "Army & Navy CSL Makers" was used. Some labels also indicate addresses. Brass and ivory tags are known, as well as leather tags applied to luggage and printed and ink stamps. The company's growth has been remarkable, both rapid and significant, but it has nevertheless managed to keep an eye on quality and customer service. Its name changed in 1934 from Army & Navy Co-Operative Society Ltd to The Army & Navy Stores Ltd. It was finally taken over by The House of Frazer in 1981. » Source campaignfurniture
