British Military Officer's Campaign Chest or Dresser of Brass-Bound Mahogany

$9,850
46.75 in. H x 42 in. W x 19.75 in. D
Inventory Number: EE149

A superb British military officer’s Campaign Ware chest of drawers or dresser, from the 19th century, featuring a patinated mahogany exterior, showing two short drawers over three long drawers, each with decorative brass escutcheons. The brass-bound chest, in two parts, accented with brass hardware, resting on four rectangular feet.

Campaign-era chests and secretaries were the travel items of British military officers who bought and commissioned them for their campaigns abroad to India and Ceylon (The Raj); indeed, the whole of the British Empire.

The officers, being predominately from the upper classes, were accustomed to a certain standard of living and found it unthinkable to travel without their necessaries.
