This is a fine example of an Anglo-Indian military chest from the 19th century with two drawers at the bottom for additional storage space. It would make a bijou coffee table with a concealed space below a layer of compartments. It is constructed from beautifully patinated teak and has its original brass fittings and handles.

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. Woods used were dependent on rank, and chests were reinforced with brass or iron corners for extra strength.
