About the Item

A handsome camphor wood military campaign trunk featuring impressive brass strapwork and sturdy carrying handles Circa 1860 It is widely accepted that trunks of this type were originally made for military use and were often issued to, or privately commissioned by, high-ranking officers for use during their travels throughout the battlefields and territories of the British Empire The substantial carrying handles made transportation easier, while the decorative brass banding served an important practical purpose, protecting the trunk from the inevitable knocks and impacts sustained during frequent journeys by ship, rail, and carriage The brass strapwork also adds to the trunk's distinctive military appearance and enduring appeal Crafted from aromatic camphor wood, renowned for its natural resistance to insects and its pleasant fragrance, this trunk combines durability with timeless elegance Today, it makes an exceptional decorative piece as well as a practical storage chest, reflecting both the craftsmanship and history of the great age of military campaigns and imperial travel Offered in great shape - fully restored to original condition Will ship to anywhere in the world - including the US - please get in touch for a shipping quote
