Description

A truly remarkable Colonial Campaign Set Of Bookshelves, that are not only extremely rare, but immensely useful as well.

With slotted screw joints to the end mouldings that enable the mouldings to be slid out of the way, revealing dovetail housings for the shaped uprights to be slid out. Then, by removing a couple of screws from the rear of each shelf, the whole thing can be flat packed ready to take on your next expedition!

In very good order throughout, the bookshelves would grace any room and make a very interesting focal point. Made of good quality hardwood, with each set of shaped uprights having a unique design to them for added design interest, and useful so that the parts are easily identifiable when assembling. This is probably some of the most stylish flat packed furniture you are likely to see.

Colonial campaign furniture originated to be easily dismantled and transported for military campaigns, typically characterised by robust construction, dark hardwoods, and functional modularity.

Such pieces were traditionally crafted from durable tropical hardwoods like mahogany and teak to withstand humid climates, frequently accented with brass corners and handles.

Authentication involves examining construction methods, such as hand-cut dovetailing, timber shrinkage patterns, patination on the wood, and the presence of original iron or brass fixings.

It pairs effectively with neutral walls and modern minimalist decor, serving as a focal point for displaying curated books, ceramics, and sculptural objects.

Preservation requires keeping the timber away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft cloth, and occasionally applying a specialist microcrystalline wax to nourish the grain.
