Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A camphor wood campaign trunk is a protective timber storage chest designed during the 19th century for military officers and travellers to transport possessions safely across long voyages.

These trunks were typically constructed from durable hardwoods like camphor or teak and fitted with brass corner brackets and flush handles to prevent snagging during transit.

Authentic pieces feature hand-dovetailed joinery, flush-mounted brass hardware, heavy timber construction, and a persistent aromatic camphor scent inside the chest.

A campaign trunk serves effectively as a central coffee table in a living room, a blanket box placed at the foot of a bed, or functional storage in a hallway.

Dust the wood regularly with a dry microfibre cloth, apply a clear beeswax polish periodically, and position the piece away from direct radiator heat to avoid timber shrinkage.
