    This original military chest is made to Anglo-Indian military standards. These trunks were originally used by officers of the British Indian Army to carry their kit and personal possessions whilst on tour. The British East India Company had stations across Northern India & Burma throughout much of the 19th century. 

    It is constructed from beautifully patinated teak and has its original brass fittings and handles. The interior has a chain that prevents the lid from falling open and straining the hinges. 

    Military chests were used by officers of the British Indian Army to carry their kit and personal possessions whilst, on tour, they were made to order and had to withstand a lot of punishment in transit.

    88 x 49 x 48 (wxdxh cms)
