A fine example of a 19th-century military campaign trunk, crafted around 1850 from solid camphor wood. The sturdy rectangular trunk features brass corner reinforcements and straps, which not only enhance its robustness but also add to its timeless aesthetic. Brass carry handles are fitted on either side, allowing for easy transport.The hinged lid lifts to reveal a spacious interior, complete with a built-in candle box�a thoughtful design element typical of the era, providing a dedicated space for storing candles or small essentials. The interior retains its distinct camphor wood aroma, a highly valued characteristic in Victorian times, as camphor wood was known for its natural moth-repellent properties, helping to protect clothing and other stored items.This versatile trunk is in very good condition, ready to be used in the home. Its flat top and generous proportions make it an excellent coffee table, providing both functionality and historical charm. Whether used for storage, as a statement piece, or as a functional furnishing, this antique campaign chest is a remarkable example of 19th-century furniture.W 96.5cm (38'')D 47.5cm (18.75'')H 46cm (18'')InteriorW 92.5cmD 43.5cm H 31cm England delivery is included on items listed over �500.We can deliver all over the world, please request a quote along with your delivery postcode for an accurate price.All measurements are taken at the widest points.Please call 07799880163 or 01634233280 for more information on this item.We recommend that you arrange an appointment to view the items before you buy them.
