Painted Teak Indian Chest From Gujarat -19thC
These Anglo-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.
Constructed from Teak, Rosewood or Jackfruit wood they were made to order by skilled carpenters. Depending on rank, these were re-enforced with corners of brass or iron.
This piece is especially nice as it still has the original paintwork.
