19th Century Teak Campaign Trunk

This handsome 19th-century teak campaign trunk is a fine example of functional yet decorative military furniture, designed for durability during travel while retaining strong aesthetic appeal. Crafted from solid teak, the trunk displays a rich, warm tone and excellent grain, prized for its strength and resistance to movement—ideal for campaign use. The trunk is fitted with original brass corner bindings, specifically designed to protect the edges during transportation. These are complemented by decorative cut brass inlay, with an ornate central motif to the top and matching brass inlay to each top corner, adding refinement to what is otherwise a robust utilitarian form. It retains its original brass carrying handles, allowing ease of movement, and stands on original turned feet, which elevate the trunk slightly from the floor while enhancing its overall proportions. The brass-bound construction and clean lines are characteristic of classic 19th Century campaign furniture, making this piece both practical and highly decorative. Perfect for use as a blanket chest, coffee table, or statement storage piece, this campaign trunk works equally well in traditional and contemporary interiors.
