Description

A rare antique figured walnut military campaign chest, made from richly figured walnut, the chest boasts a beautifully bookmatched veneer across the drawer fronts, with intricate grain patterns that reflect the natural elegance of the wood. Over the years, the walnut has developed a warm, glowing patina, further enhancing its timeless character.

The chest is designed in the traditional campaign style, constructed in two stacking sections to allow for easy transportation during military campaigns. Brass corner brackets and strapping reinforce the structure and provide a distinctive visual contrast against the walnut.
The recessed brass handles on each drawer are flush-mounted, minimizing protrusion and adding to the sleek, functional design that made campaign furniture so popular among British officers in the 18th and 19th centuries.

There are two short drawers in the upper section, perfect for smaller personal items, and three full-width drawers beneath, offering substantial storage space. The drawers are constructed with hand-cut solid oak dovetail joints, and all function well.

The chest stands on turned bun feet, and the overall condition is excellent for its age, with a solid structure and rich finish that reflect careful preservation or expert restoration.
