Description

A superb antique military campaign style chest of drawers / sideboard in mahogany. This was made in England, it dates from around the 1930’s.

It is of amazing quality and is a great size, with plenty of storage space inside the six generous drawers. The mahogany has a gorgeous mellow colour tone, there are lovely brass mounts and brass naval handles, there is also a brass rim around the entire top edge.

We have had this recently re-polished, the condition is excellent for its age. It has a wonderful overall patina, with just some minor wear remaining here and there beneath the polish.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Military campaign chests were originally designed in the 18th and 19th centuries to be easily dismantled and transported by British officers on active service during colonial campaigns.

These pieces are typically constructed from dense hardwoods like mahogany, walnut, or camphor, featuring reinforced brass corners, binding, and recessed flush handles to withstand rigorous travel.

Authentic pieces usually feature split-carcase construction (built in two or more stackable sections), dovetailed drawer joints, inset brass handles that sit flush with the wood, and screw-in feet.

A campaign chest works well as a statement piece in a study, bedroom, or hallway, pairing effectively with both contemporary minimalist decor and traditional settings.

Maintain the wood with high-quality beeswax to nourish the grain, and clean the brass components carefully with a non-abrasive polish to preserve the original metal finish.
