Low Mahogany Campaign Chest
Low Mahogany Campaign Chest
82317
A low mahogany Campaign Chest with an earlier form of flush brass campaign handle.
This is an earlier campaign chest than most that come on the market. It has original iron carrying handles to the sides and the drawer handles are of a type you associate with the first half of the 19th century. The drawer fronts have a cock beading lining cut into them and the linings are made of pine or deal. The removable foot is a plain conical shape. We were lucky to have an almost identical chest recently that belonged to Lieutenant RT Goodwin, the Fort Adjutant at Asseerghur that allowed us to date it to 1848.
This chest has the standard width of most chests from the second half of the 19th but is 3 or 4 inches lower in height. Mid 19th Century.
Width with handles is 41 inches.
Dimensions:
Mid 19th Century.
