We are delighted to offer for sale this Antique Victorian Military Campaign Chest of Graduated Drawers is a remarkable piece of furniture that embodies both functionality and historical significance. 

Constructed during the Victorian era, this chest typically features a robust wooden frame, with brass fittings that emphasize its military heritage. 

The design showcases a series of graduated drawers, with each drawer slightly larger than the one above it, providing ample storage space for personal items or clothing. The exterior is adorned with rich wood finishes and brass handles, adding to its aesthetic appeal. 

Originally designed for officers in the British Army, the campaign chest is characterized by its portability and durability, often featuring removable drawer sections and collapsible sides for easy transport during military campaigns.

This piece will have its surface marks here and there due to its age, but there are no deep scratches or heavy wear on it.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote. 

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear. 

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
