Portable Campaign Desk & Chest
Portable Campaign Desk & Chest
USA, ca. 1930s or 1940s. An incredibly well-built campaign chest or field desk. Features solid wood construction with three large dovetailed drawers and one deep cabinet. Heavy iron pulls and corner braces enhance overall rugged appeal. Top flips open to reveal a large work surface with clever self-storing supports. Removable tubular iron legs can also be added for a more permanent look. Would make a great addition to any home office, guest bedroom, etc. Lightly refurbished to preserve patina and ensure functionality, the condition is overall excellent - with appropriate and appealing signs of age.
While we have not been able to track down the green and red painted emblem, it is most likely of Red Cross, military, or scouting origins.
Dimensions: 36” wide x 22.25” deep x 31” high (top closed); 72” wide x 22.25” deep x 30.25” high (top open).
