Notes

The campaign or military chest was designed for army officers and was built to be strong and practical so they could be transportable between camps. They often featured detachable feet, inset handles, brass-bound corners and carrying handles.

Most of these items of furniture were made in India during the 18th and 19th centuries for the colonial British market resident at the time, using indigenous hardwoods such as teak, camphor, padouk and ebony.
