campaign and military furniture
Campaign and military furniture. Furniture that was originally intended for use by officers in their quarters while on manoeuvres, which can include beds, trunks, chairs, and desks. The furniture is demountable, so that it can be packed for ease of movement between camps.
The most common example of campaign furniture is the chest, which breaks into an upper and lower section, each with brass or rope handles at the sides. The corners are protected by brass cappings, and the handles are recessed so they are flush with front of the chest. The usual form is two half drawers and three full drawers, standing on baluster legs which usually unscrew, again for ease of transport.
Many campaign chests bear the label or plate of the retailer or maker, often in London or Ireland, and the scars of extensive travel. Examples made in India in the late 19th century, for use by the occupying British army, are also common.
