罕见的19世纪英印战役旅行模块——2千克超轻量级工程 - 木, 粗鋅, 竹 - 印度 - 英屬印度（1858-1947）

Rare 19th-Century Anglo-Indian Campaign Travel Module – 2kg Featherweight Engineering

A remarkably preserved, authentic 19th-century British Colonial/Anglo-Indian campaign travel accessory, showcasing elite regional multi-media craftsmanship.
Design & Construction:
The top features a heavy cast-metal repoussé panel intricately decorated with dense, mirrored foliate and floral scroll relief work. This panel is set into a beautifully aged frame wrapped in authentic, mitered split-bamboo stalk trim.
Engineered explicitly for high-mobility colonial transit during the British Raj, the item utilizes an exceptionally lightweight, low-density secondary wood framework and hollow-grooved stacking walls. Despite its substantial look and heavy metal plaque, the entire piece weighs only 2.0 kg, a marvel of historical weight-saving precision designed to meet strict officer baggage limits.
Provenance & Markings:
The raw wood underside features a distinct, original hand-inked or stamped workshop assembly inventory numeral "7", proving its historical place within a modular, multi-tier travel chest or nested kit set.
Condition Report:
Excellent antique condition. Structurally rock-solid with expected, stable micro-gaps at the corners due to a century of natural wood movement. The beautifully detailed, original ornate cast drop-pull handle is preserved; the mounting screws were updated to modern fasteners strictly to ensure absolute safety when lifting the heavy metal cover.

Information about the seller

I am a regular guy in the late 50's, I don't have a store. Due to an unfortunate circumstance with my health I have decided to start selling my extensive collection of various objects. These are items that I and my wife have purchased in the last 30 years during our living and travels across the world. If you decide to buy any of them I hope that you will enjoy them as much as we did.

Thank you for shopping
