Description

A fantastic antique leather bound military campaign chest of drawers. This was made in England, the chest of drawers itself is Victorian and dates from around the 1890-1900 period.

It has been adapted slightly later, probably some time around the 1930-50’s. The original chest has been bound in leather with brass tacked studs around all the edges, and has had lovely military campaign handles added.

The condition is very good for its age, the leather has acquired a gorgeous colour tone and patina. There is just the right amount of surface wear to the leather here and there, with most of the wear seen on the outer front left edge.

Width – 34 inches , 87 cm

A military campaign chest is a type of modular furniture designed to be easily dismantled and transported by British officers on active military campaigns during the 18th and 19th centuries.

These chests were typically constructed from sturdy hardwoods such as mahogany, camphor, or teak, and fitted with recessed brass handles, corner brackets, and brass strapping to withstand rigorous travel.

Authentic pieces often feature two-part construction with carrying side handles, secret compartments, dovetailed drawer joints, and maker stamps or military broad arrow markings on the brass hardware or timber.

A campaign chest functions well as a statement storage piece in a bedroom, hallway, or study, pairing effectively with neutral walls and minimalist modern decor to highlight its distinctive industrial and utilitarian history.

Leather surfaces should be kept out of direct sunlight, dusted regularly with a dry cloth, and periodically treated with a specialist leather conditioner to prevent drying and cracking.
