English 19th Century Campaign Chest with Fitted Drawer
About the Item
This particular campaign chest is remarkable in several ways. Unlike most such chests, it has a wonderfully complete and well- appointed secretary drawer with birds-eye maple veneers, a secret drawer for your gold sovereign and a green baize-lined writing surface. Typically these chests lack this feature or have a perfunctory modification. The flanking short drawers are ideal for domestic storage as is the long drawer beneath. The very deep bottom drawer offers ample further storage.
The chest is a wonderful color, the recessed handles and corner mounts are of top quality, the locks are marked VR and Patent , the drawers are lined in mahogany and have quarter round dust beads. This is the finest example we have ever offered. It is clearly of British origin and of peerless quality.
Campaign or Military furniture was popular in the 19th and 20th centuries, when military campaigns took place during the expansion of the British Empire. British officers of high social standing would carry the pieces around with them for home comforts and storage, piecing them back together for use. Mahogany wood was used in campaign furniture due to its durability.
