Large Campaign Chest in Camphor Wood with Tray - 19th Century

This is a superb large 19th Century antique campaign chest in camphor wood with tray in camphor wood. Chest of the English navy with its fittings brasses of this style of furniture and its carrying handles on the side. Very good quality camphor wood with all sides made of a single plank. It is rare to find them with a tray (our first). Camphor wood was used at the time since the camphor wood is resistant to woodworms and these chests were used on boats of the English navy.
