Antique Teak Military Campaign Secretaire Chest of Drawers

Outstanding antique teak military campaign secretaire chest of drawers, dating from around the 1860-1880 period. The quality is absolutely amazing, this is a very smart and very useful item. The top drawer slides out and pulls down to reveal a leather top writing surface with pigeon holes and internal drawers. This has lovely inset and turned handles, this chest is strictly speaking called a naval chest, rather than a military chest. The lower section has lots of storage space, all the drawers have fine hand cut dovetailed joints. There are beautiful brass fixtures throughout, and this comes apart in two pieces for ease of transport. We have just had this re-polished, it is in very good condition for its age. There is just some very minor wear and a few marks remaining here and there beneath the polish. Width 38 inches, 96cm Depth 17 inches, 43cm Height 40 inches, 102cm
