All auctions / Furniture, Design & Mirrors / An Anglo-Chinese hardwood naval officer’s campaign chest
An Anglo-Chinese hardwood naval officer’s campaign chest. This chest (probably padouk) is of typical rectangular form, in two brass-bound sections with black-painted carrying handles on the sides. The top section has a fitted secretaire drawer above a single long drawer in rosewood or hardwood with mahogany drawer linings. The front opens to reveal pigeon holes and small drawers, including a hidden drawer behind a small door with a single hinge. The lower section has been adapted so the two drawer fronts disguise a single drawer deep enough to accommodate a naval officer’s hat. The drawers have flush handles and English locks stamped ‘Chubb’s New Patent A1845D, 27.St Paul’s Churchyard, London’. Together with three tobacco pouches found in the secretaire, one inscribed in pencil, ‘S E Lark, Lieu Paymaster R.N, 11 Woodland Terrace, Plymouth’. Chinese, circa 1820.
