A lovely antique camphor wood trunk, most likely a military piece, with brass corner pieces, brass strapping and brass carrying handles. It also has a brass plaque on the front engraved "E.C.Phillips". It is very well made from solid camphor and has a lovely colour and patina. It also comes with a working key.
It is in good condition for its age and is strong and sturdy. All brass pieces are present although the carry handles have been replaced at some point. There are some signs of age and use, some small knocks and marks here and there and an old repair to the rear which was likely done when a knot came out but no major damages or anything detrimental. The box is clean and tidy inside, it has been cleaned and lightly polished and it displays beautifully.
