Victorian Mahogany Military Chest with Brass Fittings – 19th‑Century Campaign Furniture
Victorian mahogany military chest
A handsome Victorian mahogany military chest, built in the classic 19th‑century campaign style with brass‑bound corners and recessed brass handles for ease of transport. Crafted from rich mahogany with a warm, aged patina, this chest was designed for officers travelling on campaign, combining durability with refined elegance.
The chest features two short drawers over three full‑width drawers, all running smoothly and retaining their original brass hardware. The proportions make it ideal for modern living, offering practical storage while bringing authentic period character to any interior. A genuine piece of British military history, full of charm and presence.
As with all genuine military/campaign chests it is made in 2 parts so for ease of transporting on wagons, sailing ships and mules. Each half would be slid into iron bound pine carrying cases, before being loaded for transporting to the officers overseas posting.
