Army and Navy Military Teak Campaign Chest

19th century
Description

19th Century teak military campaign chest by Army and Navy company as taken to war by serving officers in the Victorian period, folding handles and brass corners to protect from damage, splits into two sections for carrying purposes and still retains its original legs (these are usually missing or replaced). The condition is very good for its age and the fact that it would have seen use on the battlefields of the world in the 19th and early 20th century. Very well made with Hobbs locks and teak lined drawers, some marks as shown in the pictures but no splits or cracks this is a wonderful and historic piece of furniture.

FAQs

A campaign chest is a piece of modular wooden furniture designed to be disassembled or split into two sections for ease of transport by military officers during overseas deployment in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Campaign furniture was typically constructed from resilient hardwoods such as teak, mahogany, or camphor wood, fitted with recessed brass hardware, flush handles, and corner straps to withstand travel conditions.

Authentic pieces usually feature a two-part split construction, flush brass corner brackets, recessed carrying handles on the sides, inset drawer pulls, and occasionally maker brass plates from specialized suppliers.

Place a campaign chest in a bedroom, hallway, or study as a practical storage piece, pairing warm timber tones and brass fittings against neutral walls and contemporary accents.

Keep the wood nourished by applying high-quality clear beeswax paste periodically, position the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement, and clean brass fittings gently with a soft dry cloth.
