Description

A smart and extremely well made pair of antique mahogany military campaign chest of drawers. They were made in England, they date from around the 1930’s.

The quality is excellent, they are a great size to be used as decent sized bedside chests, or as side chests / tables around the home; they are very functional. The mahogany has a lovely colour tone and patina, they have high quality brass mounts throughout. There are also tray slide shelves that pull out from beneath the tops, the backs are nicely polished so they can be used as free standing items.

We have had them recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for their age. There are a few very small marks and indentations here and there beneath the polish, commensurate for age.

Width – 25 inches , 63 cm

Depth – 13 inches , 33 cm

Height – 22 inches , 56 cm

Campaign furniture was designed for British military officers on active service during the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, engineered for easy transport and durability during frequent relocations.

Authentic pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods such as mahogany, camphor, or teak, reinforced with recessed brass corners, strapwork, and flush-fitting drop handles to prevent snagging during transit.

Key indicators of authenticity include hand-cut dovetail joints, secondary timbers such as oak or pine on drawer linings, makers marks or brass inset plates, and construction in two separate sections designed to stack securely.

A campaign chest functions effectively as a bedside table, hallway console, or living room accent piece, pairing well with both minimalist modern aesthetics and traditional dark academia schemes.

Maintain the finish by dusting with a soft, dry cloth and applying natural beeswax periodically to nourish the wood, avoiding silicone-based polishes and direct exposure to strong sunlight or heat sources.
