Victorian Camphorwood military chest
Victorian Camphorwood chest
This Victorian Camphorwood chest was made circa 1870 when there was much upheaval and troubles in the untamed areas of Afghanistan, and the North West Frontier.
British Officers would need strong durable chests to transport their uniforms and effects on the long arduous and dangerous journeys, hence why these trunks had brass corners to protect these, they also had the advantage of looking attractive. Another sign of it being superior quality is that the corners rather being nailed in, each one has been screwed into place.
Camphor wood has a natural perfume and so when the trunk is opened you get a gentle aroma. This timber was especially important in the East as insects avoid this and so the uniforms etc were free from attack.
These Victorian Camphorwood military chests make fantastic coffee antique tables as not only are they functional they also make great conversation pieces.
Of course, they can be used in many places around your home as capacious storage.
Imagine the pleasure of ownership this will bring and way they will inspire you and your friends’ minds as they wonder at the scrapes this has been through.
