FAQs

Military campaign trunks, also known as field chests, were designed during the 18th and 19th centuries to be transported during military operations. They feature flush brass corners, durable hardwoods like teak, and reinforced construction to withstand transit.

Campaign trunks were constructed from dense, water-resistant hardwoods such as teak, camphorwood, or mahogany. Brass straps, corner brackets, and latches were applied to reinforce the timber edges during transport.

Authentic 19th century pieces feature hand-cut joinery, flush-fitting brass hardware recessed into cutouts, and natural oxidisation across the metal surfaces. Original hardware was typically secured using hand-cut screws or iron rivets.

A brass bound trunk functions as a low coffee table in a living room or as storage at the foot of a bed. Combining rich timber surfaces with modern soft furnishings creates a balanced interior aesthetic.

Keep teak trunks away from direct heat sources to prevent timber movement or cracking. Clean the wood with a soft dry cloth and apply beeswax polish periodically while preserving the natural patina on the brass fittings.
