Indian military chests were originally used by officers of the British Indian Army to carry their kit and personal possessions whilst on tour. As they had to with-stand a lot of punishment in transit, they were exceptionally well made.
This Indian chest is constructed from teak although chests were also constructed from rosewood or jackfruit wood. They were made to order by skilled carpenters and depending on rank, these were re-enforced with corners of brass or iron. Brass being higher valued than iron.
Our pieces are mostly from the 19thC and early 20thC
