Antique English mahogany military chest of drawers with secretaire

This mahogany English military chest of drawers, also known as a campaign chest, truly belongs to the finest and most beautiful ever made in terms of style, wood use and function. Many of these chests travelled around the world with their owners, often senior officers in the British armed forces, from Pakistan to Australia, from India to the Cayman Islands. Besides having a beautiful colour and patina and being very expertly crafted, which can no longer be done today, the secretaire section is particularly special. A very special piece of furniture that rarely appears on the market.
