Philip Hunt Antiques has dated this Camphor Wood Campaign Trunk to the 1880s.
The substantial carrying handles made transportation easier, while the decorative brass banding served an important practical purpose, protecting the trunk from the inevitable knocks and impacts sustained during frequent journeys by ship, rail, and carriage. The brass strapwork also adds to the trunk's distinctive military appearance and enduring appeal.
Today, it makes an exceptional decorative piece as well as a practical storage chest, reflecting both the craftsmanship and history of the great age of military campaigns and imperial travel.
