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

FAQs

Campaign chests are modular furniture pieces designed to be easily dismantled and transported by military officers during British colonial campaigns. The chests typically feature recessed brass handles and corner brackets to prevent damage during transit.

Authentic campaign furniture is traditionally constructed from durable hardwoods like mahogany, teak, or camphor, often covered in leather or brass trim. Construction includes robust dovetail joints and two-part stacking sections for portability.

Authentification involves examining the construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetails, original recessed brass hardware, and the presence of carrying handles on the side sections. Maker marks and the natural patina of age on the leather and wood are also key indicators.

A campaign chest serves as a focal point in a living room, study, or hallway, bringing character and practical storage. Pair it with minimalist decor to let the rich textures of the leather and brass stand out without cluttering the space.

Preserve leather surfaces by cleaning with a soft, dry cloth and applying a specialist leather conditioner periodically to prevent cracking. Polish brass fittings gently with a non-abrasive cleaner while avoiding contact with the surrounding leather.
