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

$7,950
39 in. H x 37 in. W x 20 in. D
Inventory Number: EE182

A handsome British military officer’s Campaign Ware chest of drawers or dresser, from the 19th century, featuring a patinated mahogany exterior over four drawers with brass escutcheons and recessed pulls. The brass-bound chest, in two parts - top half seated on lower half - accented with brass hardware, opposing handles on each section, resting on four turned ball 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.
