Military Camphor wood campaign chest, circa 1890

Photos

Description

A superior campaign chest, which would have been made in China for a high ranking officer or colonial administrator in the late 19th century. This is an opportunity to buy a chest of this type at a reasonable price, as it comes in unrestored original condition straight from a property. When the drawers are opened , it still retains the original perfumed aroma of camphor wood.
As can be seen in the illustration the central upper section has a pull-out Secretaire drawer, which folds over to form a writing surface, fitted with various compartments and pigeon holes. Further images are available upon request.
