We have recently sourced some chest of drawers. This Campaign chest of drawers looks regal and has lots of storage. We also have an Art Nouveau piece from the 1910 -1920s. It is made from solid Burmese Teak with rich flowing grains that have darkened in patina over time. It still has the old brass keyholes. The dovetailed drawers have solid wood on the insides. It is hard backed too.
The last one, is a English Mahogany and it is a military campaign chest with handles on the sides for ease of movement. It is functional yet aesthetic but has seen use so there are a few minor nicks consistent with age (1920’s). Sunken brass handles look great. The drawers are graduated.
Ideal for storage.

Beautiful and rare antique Victorian English partner’s desk in wonderful condition with vintage gilt laced leather top and brass handles. Drawers on one side with cabinet on the other echoed at both ends. Hinged lids on either end reveal additional storage space when raised. Lovely patina. Dismantles into 3 pieces for ease of movement. On casters. Exquisite!

We have a diverse collection of furniture for Art Deco enthusiasts. From rocking chairs, side tables, and grand armoires. Each piece finished with great attention to detail. These pieces were built to last.
You’d be surprised how much the armoires can store. They come with shelves and offer a lot of storage. These may be used for linen as well.
Come to our store to view all the selection.
From time to time we source some fine campaign pieces. These were “on the go” pieces which were made for British officers who were waging campaigns around their Colonial territories. They could be chests, chairs, folding tables, desks and even armoires. Usually they could be dismantled for ease of movement or were distinguished by their unique hardware: brass strips or edges for protection and handles for transportation. They are highly desirable and collectible items and inevitably end up becoming conversation pieces.
While we have sold several campaign pieces recently we currently have a beautiful English Mahogany campaign chest (featured in the photo and currently in our window) Circa 1890’s. It has lovely hardware including a serial number from the “Home Department”. The lining is original and the key has survived! Come take a look and let us know you read our blog for a special incentive on any single item!
