A handsome mid-19th century mahogany military campaign chest of excellent proportions, dating to circa 1850.
Constructed in two sections for ease of transport, this attractive example features a classic arrangement of two short over three long graduated drawers, retaining its original brass recessed campaign handles and brass corner mounts.
The chest boasts a particularly rich, untouched original colour and patina, with the warm mahogany timber displaying wonderful figuring and character acquired over time. It stands on turned bun feet and comes complete with a working lock and key.
A well-proportioned and highly desirable campaign chest.
