A 19thc Camphor Campaign Trunk

19th century

Sold by The Antique Partnership

Description

An early 19thC camphor wood campaign trunk the perfect COFFEE TABLE size.... 106cm wide by 52 cm deep and 51 cm high. Bearing the scars of campaigns 'up country' but with a fine mellow colour to the front and top. Some old repairs which can be seen in the photographs but good looking despite its travels. It bears a central cartouche to the lid inscribed ' J Haley The Bull Inn Shipley' no doubt this is where it ended up in Victorian times when the owner came home. Good original brass side lifting handles and brass ring pull to the lid. The brass strapping appears to replace older strapping but it has been done a way back in the past. The camphor timber at the rear of the trunk is rough planed and polished with an old repair to the upper part of the lid (see photos).

Overall a good characterfull piece which reflects its history in its look.
