It is a larger than the usual examples and also heavy guage. It has good flush brass corners and also the brass carrying handles.

This Victorian campaign trunk would have been made circa 1870 and after a British officer got a posting to the Far East he would purchase a Camphor trunk to transport his belongings uniform and other essentials around. Camphor wood would be used as insects and moths avoid this wood, thus ensuring his uniforms would not be damaged, whilst they avoid the woods scent, the gentle camphor perfume is delightful to us.

These Victorian camphor military chests make wonderful coffee tables for the centre of a room, as well as being conversation pieces. It will spark the imagination of your family and friends as they try to envisage what action this has seen.

Campaign trunks were portable furnishings constructed for British military officers and colonial administrators on the move during the 19th century, designed to withstand frequent travel.

They are typically constructed from durable dense timbers such as camphor wood, mahogany, or teak, and reinforced with recessed brass corners, straps, and flush-fitting handles to prevent snagging.

Authentic pieces feature dovetail joints, hand-cut brass screws, recessed hardware, split-carcase construction for ease of transport, and often carry maker marks or military broad arrow stamps.

A campaign chest functions effectively as a coffee table in a living room or as a storage chest at the foot of a bed, adding textural contrast and historical character to modern spaces.

Preservation involves applying microcrystalline wax to nourish the timber, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading, and using a soft cloth to polish the brass hardware without abrasive cleaners.
