Description from the seller
No reserve price!
Vintage Campaign-style Organizer/Storage Box – 1970s.
Storage box and portable desk in Campaign style (military/travel), dating from the 1970s.
Made of honey-toned veneered wood, it features the characteristic rectangular design with straight, sober lines of the vintage period.
It stands out for its ingenious fold-out opening system via a dual piano hinge and brass hardware, allowing the top lid to hinge in two sections for easier access.
The interior is permanently divided into three utility compartments, ideal for a desk, sewing, or jewelry storage.
The exterior preserves reinforced corners and a brass inset front clasp, typical of the era's revivalist aesthetic.
Shows normal signs of use and age, including slight surface scratches to the wood patina and traces of oxidation on the decorative hardware.
Seller's Story
Antiques are my great passion; all the items I have on auction were found at antique fairs and antique shops mainly from the Lisbon area, but also from the rest of Portugal, a country with a centuries-old history and many fabulous pieces and objects from this long journey, which I present here for auction. Only pieces of good quality, distinctly original, and obviously beautiful. Guarantee of quality and great care in the shipping of the items. Thank you.
