We are delighted to offer for sale this rare and sturdy campaign chest in mahogany for military officers. If you are looking for a truly original campaign chest, look no further; this piece is wonderful, completely unrestored apart from a good clean and wax, with all the correct patina of the period. Mahogany is one of the rarest woods for campaign furniture, having an almost camphor wood appearance, especially on the side panels. The condition is consistent with a period campaign piece, with marks adding charm and character. Dimensions: Height - 94 cm, Width - 91.5 cm, Depth - 50 cm. For any specific measurements, please ask. Please refer to the very detailed photos that are part of the description regarding the condition. Note: vintage and period items such as leather seating have a natural patina in the form of cracks, creases, and wear. Regular waxing is recommended to prevent moisture loss. Hand-dyed leather should not be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods to avoid drying out and discolouration.
