Victorian Teak Campaign Chest by Army & Navy Stores – Two‑Part Military Chest
A fine Victorian teak campaign chest supplied by the renowned Army & Navy Stores, designed for officers travelling across the Empire. Constructed in two separate sections, this classic campaign form allowed easy transport during military service, with each half stacking securely using original brass locating pins.
Crafted from richly coloured teak with recessed brass campaign handles and brass corner protectors, the chest displays the robust practicality and refined aesthetic typical of late‑19th‑century military furniture. The proportions make it ideal for modern homes, offering both decorative presence and excellent storage.
A genuine piece of British military history, combining portability, craftsmanship and timeless style.
When an officer was commissioned he would go to the Army & Navy Stores to kit himself out with all his needs for his overseas adventures, including ordering a campaign chest
