This is beautifully crafted antique late Victorian camphorwood military campaign trunk or coffer, ideal for use as a coffee table, circa 1890 in date.

This trunk was made so that it could be easily transported on it's journeys throughout the Empire, probably to house an Army Officer's clothes and personal possesions. It has inset brass protection on the corners mounts and sides and is fitted with the original brass carrying handles. Complete with working lock and key.
