Antique Petit Military Campaign Camphorwood Trunk Coffer Early19th C

This is beautifully antique petit Georgian camphorwood military campaign trunk or coffer, circa 1840 in date. This rectangular antique trunk is made from the finest quality camphor wood which has a beautiful grain and scent and features brass bound corners and carrying handles. Camphorwood was used in the manufacture of travelling trunks as the wonderful scent given off by the wood discouraged insects and kept them away. This trunk was made so that it could be easily transported on its journeys throughout the Empire, probably to house an Army Officer’s clothes and personal possessions. It has inset brass protection on the corners mounts and sides and is fitted with the original brass carrying handles for further protection of its contents. This piece is truly unique and is guaranteed to bring beauty and charm to your home for many years to come.
