British colonial teakwood chest of drawers

A British colonial teakwood campaign chest of drawers; can be split in two parts for ease of transport. Campaign or “knock down” furniture was portable military furniture and used by British officers when they set out for a campaign in India. However, because campaign furniture was extremely versatile, it also appealed to home owners who appreciated its elegance, strength and ease of storage. Interesting, unique piece paired with a selection of antique maps.
