Object Description
A Good Quality Mid 19th Century Mahogany Military Campaign Chest
Having Two Short And Three Long Drawers With Original Flush Fitted
Handles And Brass Bound Decoration Raised On Replacement Turned
Feet
(Military campaign chests as the name suggests were originally
made for easy transportation around various battlefields. A few of
the specific features for this purpose are the two part construction
for ease of movement, the flush fitted brass handles and brass bound
decoration designed to ensure there are as few bit “poking out” that
could be snagged or caught on things as possible. This particular one
is made of mahogany which is less common than teak, or camphor wood.)
