Campaign 4-Drawer Box
Inspired
by John and Mary Newby, a sophisticated couple from New South Wales who
traveled in the 1920's to the camel fair held in Pushkar, Rajasthan each
year. Their travel required that they be supplied with every
necessity, including fine wines and gourmet delicacies not likely to be
found on their route. These are the sort of sturdy boxes with brass
corners that were strapped to their Bentley.
Finished in a style called "de Voyage", with Grand Hotel labels from the
Newby's travels, each box whispers the allure of adventure.
Made of cherry and
birch, with brass corners and hardware. Also available in a honey
finish,

High-ranking British officers enjoyed a lifestyle "under canvas" that
allowed the transportation of luxuriously appointed furnishings, designed to
travel well and serve their owners in the style to which they were
accustomed. Despite their substantial and stylish appearance, the
pieces were cleverly designed to quickly break down and re-assemble without
the use of nails or tools, in time for afternoon tea or an evening "encamp".
The solid functionality of these clever pieces lends itself well to modern
interiors. Classic proportions and elegant, distressed finishes add a
lived-in, comfortable statement of character that will express the owner's
reference to history and confidence in good style.
