Victorian camphorwood military chest

It is made in 2 parts to allow for easy transportation to and around your home.
This chest would have been commissioned by an officer when first stationed in the Far East.
Made in camphor wood, a timber that was used as it repelled insects, moths etc that would eat the uniforms and other equipment and papers whilst posted abroad.
This handsome military chest has a fine line inlay around the drawers, and the brass protective strapping to the corners and around the top. The sides are fitted the original brass carrying handles.
Having 2 half width drawers and a further deep long drawer in the top section and a further 2 deep full width drawers in the lower section. You will be able to store so much in this marvellous Military chest.
