The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

An Anglo-Indian campaign trunk is a specialized form of transportable storage furniture constructed in India during the British colonial era. Designed for military officers and travellers, these pieces combine Western utilitarian forms with Indian craftsmanship and durable native timbers.

These trunks were typically crafted from hardwearing hardwoods such as teak, rosewood, or camphorwood. They feature flush-fitting brass corner brackets, straps, and handles designed to prevent snagging and protect the wood during transit.

Authentic pieces feature inset or flush brass hardware, mortise and tenon joinery, and heavy construction designed for dismantlement or transport. Look for recessed handles, brass strapwork, and original locks or escutcheons.

A campaign trunk functions effectively as a low coffee table, a storage chest at the foot of a bed, or a feature piece in a hallway. Its warm timber tones and metal hardware contrast well with contemporary upholstery and minimalist decor.

Dust the wooden surfaces regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth and apply a high-quality beeswax polish annually to nourish the timber. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners on the brass hardware to preserve its natural patina and prevent oxidisation.
