Style and Functionality
Campaign furniture was designed for easy transport during military campaigns and can be traced back to the Roman Empire and further still to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) in China. It really came to prominence though during the time of the British Empire where officers would showcase their use as a sign of wealth and ranking. It also allowed them to travel comfortably through their clever design, being both durable and compact.
They can be disassembled, packed and reassembled very quickly and easily. The added brass corners, handles and other elements were functional and kept the pieces in good condition but added a real sense of style that is still highly sort after in today's furniture market.
