The Campaign Chest



Domino

Designer India Hicks

Here is a lil' history on the campaign chest according to Wikipedia..."Campaign furniture, designed to be folded up, packed, and carried on the march, has been used by travelling armies since the time of Julius Caesar, and even earlier. With the rise and expansion of the British Empire in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as British gentlemen came to dominate the army, government and commerce in colonies throughout the world, the finest British furniture makers produced for this new class of traveller some of the most stylish pieces of portable furniture ever made." I see these all the time on Craigslist.com so keep an eye out if you likey!
