Description
Army and Navy Stores Calcutta, Solid Oak Campaign Chest of Drawers. This campaign chest has travelled thousands of miles, made by the Army and navy Stores in England, This is known as it is made from oak , not teak. Then shipped to India and used in an army residence, we know it was for the homes or offices as it has no brass fittings on the edges. Then shipped back to England later .
This chest comes in 2 halves, so will be easier to put in any room , but its still very heavy. The chest was made in circa 1902, with 2 short over 3 long drawers, all locks in place no keys, dove tail joints and oak lined drawers, these will take plenty of items, original brass handles. The chest stands on a plinth base giving it plenty of stability. The makers badge is on the back , no cracks or splits in the wood just age related marks. Please see all pictures for condition.
Size: 42" wide x 21" deep x 41.5" high
