19th Century Camphor Wood Military Campaign Secretaire Chest

£3,250    $4,349    €3,806
A fine mid-19th century camphor wood military campaign secrétaire chest, circa 1860.
 
Constructed in two parts for ease of transport, this handsome piece features beautifully figured timber with inlaid drawer fronts, carved corner details, and raised on turned feet.
 
The upper section opens to reveal a fitted secrétaire interior, complete with an arrangement of pigeonholes and small drawers, centered around a new hand-dyed green leather writing surface.
 
The chest retains brass campaign handles, working locks, and key.
 
Presented in good original condition, this piece is likely of Anglo-Asian origin, possibly Hong Kong, and is a superb example of functional campaign furniture from the period.
