[QUOTE="bosko69, post: 9718027, member: 16283"]JM- There have been a massive amount of Campaign Chests made over the last 150+ years.Some pieces made by esteemed reputable UK furniture makers,some by high-end interior design firms,some cheap Indian/Chinese knockoffs. The finish on your piece looks oddly 'swirly' as if it was faux finished or it could be (as Brad calls it 'plantation wood').Does it have dovetail construction,are the metal reinforcement pieces solid brass,plated,iron or steel ? A valuable piece doesn't have to be a 19th century military item-Campaign furniture's been hot off & on since it first appeared 200 plus years ago. Let's see what [USER=37]@verybrad[/USER] has to say. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campaign_furniture[/URL][/QUOTE]
