A very rare and desirable pair of military campaign used drawers, these were made during the English occupation of China, the Chinese were copying our furniture so they could capture sales from retuning dignitaries and military servicemen, the only pieces they had to hand were campaign, as such they added their own special touch using local timbers such as camphor which is a wonderful, rich wood

The pair have been deep cleaned, hand condition waxed and hand polished from top to bottom, there will be age and use related patina marks here and there but mostly they are in very fine order
