Hutton-Clarke Antiques is pleased to offer this unusual Indian rosewood campaign-style reeded box, dating to circa 1830 and raised on a later base.
Constructed in richly figured Indian rosewood, this compact and highly decorative piece features beautifully reeded panels to the front and sides, giving it a strong architectural presence and excellent visual depth. The box is finished on all sides, allowing it to be placed freely within a room, making it ideal as a side piece next to a sofa or chair.
The interior is particularly interesting, incorporating secret drawers and concealed storage compartments, reflecting the ingenuity and practicality often associated with campaign and Anglo-Indian furniture of the early 19th century. The proportions are elegant and compact, while the warm colour and grain of the rosewood add to its charm and character.
Raised on a later stand that complements the piece well, this is a versatile and functional item that works equally well as a side cabinet, occasional table, or conversation piece in a living room, study, or hallway.
