Description
This item is located in Farnham England. For international delivery please do contact me prior to discuss options and for a quotation for overseas shipping due to the large heavy nature of this item, thank you.
A beautiful late Victorian Cavalry campaign chest of drawers made by the Army & Navy CSL. A truly wonderful example made from teak. It’s made for cavalry transportation divided into two sections which are neatly stacked on top of another. This chest being unique due to its pull-out secretaire drawer at a lower height allowing you to sit and work comfortably. A very practical piece even to this day. The sloping writing section is made from satinwood with the gilt tooled leather in the centre and is supported on a sloped hinge. Beside that are two storage compartments revealed by a sliding lid with the right side comprising of removable pen storage and space for three ink wells. Underneath this section is a well operated and hidden secret drawer released by a small push section in the middle section which works like it was made yesterday. Once pushed reveals a velvet lined drawer. The top right drawer has the 'Army & Navy C.S.L. Makers' circular ivorine label. The reference number of the piece is stamped on the inside beneath a drawer.
In 1871, both by and on behalf of British Army and Navy officers, the main purpose of the 'Army & Navy Co-operative Society Ltd' was the provision of various products and goods to its members at the lowest possible profitable rate of return at the time. Over the course of the 1870s and 80s the co-operative expanded the range of goods it provided to include such products and services as stationery, clothing and tailoring, groceries, guns, banking and furniture, while at the same time they purchased various shops, warehouses and factories across London. The society became so successful that they also opened stores in Paris and Leipzig, before developing their initiatives even further afield in the Indian colonies during the 1890s.
Condition report:
A few age-related marks you’d expect from a heavy-duty piece like this but overall a sound sturdy example.

Change of mind return

In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.
Damage in transit
Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.
Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.
Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
