Description
This beautiful camphor wood military campaign boot or chest, ideal for use as a coffee table, or general storage.
This chest is made from the finest quality camphor-wood which has a beautiful grain and scent. Camphor wood was used in the manufacture of travelling boots as it had a wonderful scent given off by the wood to discourage insects.
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.
