19th century furniture makers serving the British
Empire were faced with the challenge of combining art and science as they
created furniture meant to withstand the rigors of travel, whether by sea or
desert caravan. These modular stacking units allow for a simple single
stack arrangement or an entire wall of organization. Bookshelves,
sliding door units, drawer units, even a fold-out desk, all stack like
crates for endless configurations. Ideal as a room divider since each
unit is brass bound and finished front and back so that the same rich patina
is viewed from any side. Made of solid cherry, maple and birch
with exquisite French distressed finish. Light assembly required.
Instructions included.

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.
