Bedside Cabinet / Cupboard Military Campaign Furniture 19th Century ANTIQUE
This compact but perfectly formed piece of furniture has something rather special about it. It started life as campaign furniture and was most likely used as a bedside cabinet for an army officer. Over the years it seems to have been in continued use as a number of attractive additions and alterations were made to the exterior of the cabinet. This has resulted to the interesting look of the cabinet today.
When we obtained this piece it was ready for some TLC. We gave it to our professional restorer, who has brought the cabinet back to life. He suggested to fit a red leather top that would compliment the design well. When the full restoration was completed it become clear that the leather used is from the Regency period. It was part of a damaged leather cover from a chair used in the Merchant Taylor's Hall in London. This is why Rocco Antiques will always find the best people in their trade to carry out restorations and repairs to our pieces today.
The compact size makes it perfect as a single bedside cabinet again. But it will also work well as a cupboard for placing a telephone on in a hallway. Another idea is to use it as a lamp table maybe positioning it next to a comfy chair in a lounge. The amazing leather top would make the perfect display surface to show off a favourite family photograph, small painting or prized bronze statue.
This piece of furniture has been fully restored by a furniture expert. The condition is very good, there are some scars and imperfections, particularly on one of the doors but completely consistent with age. The wood of the cabinet has been deep cleaned, inside and out, yet the character has been retained. After this all surfaces have been waxed and beautifully polished. Ready to be placed into your home today.
