Item Description
Striking 19th-Century Mahogany Campaign Filing or Drawing Cabinet, English circa 1890
This exceptionally well presented late Victorian mahogany campaign cabinet, dating from around 1890, was originally designed as a folio, map or filing chest and beautifully combines refined military style with superb practical storage. Made in solid mahogany with quality tongue-and-groove construction, it is a very rare example retaining all eleven of its original drawers and brass handles, arranged in an unusual configuration of six smaller drawers over five larger, graduated drawers.
The rectangular top has a moulded edge and is inset with black tooled leather, giving the piece a smart and tailored appearance. The drawers are fitted with their original flush mounted brass campaign handles and are set above a solid plinth base, while the sides are attractively panelled, underlining the quality of the cabinet.
With its warm colour, rich patina and elegant proportions, this chest is both a highly functional storage solution and a fine piece of late 19th-century British campaign furniture. It brings character, history and understated sophistication to any interior, and works equally well in a study, library, sitting room or contemporary office. England, circa 1890.
