This set includes the Campaign Officers Desk and matching Okavango Chair. Both pieces follow the design tradition of the master cabinetmakers of the 18th and 19th century who were commissioned by Officers in the British Army to create heirloom quality furniture that was both exquisitely hand-crafted and practical for use on the campaign trail.

The Campaign Officers Desk is built entirely by hand from solid Rhodesian Teak and features extremely strong, decorative dovetail joints. It is hand-sprayed with lacquer for a durable finish. Rhodesian Teak is extremely hard and dense and has a magnificent deep red-brown natural color often accented with black streaking. All solid brass fittings, corner guards and straps are cast in the United Kingdom, while the brass connecting rod is machined to exacting specifications in South Africa. The writing pad is genuine leather supplied by the same tannery that provides hides to The Courteney® Boot Company.
The shaped legs of the desk hinge on the brass connecting rod. By removing the solid brass rod, the legs fold and the connecting rod can be laid alongside, facilitating transport and installation. The cover for the writing pad folds up and over when in use. Two large drawers flank the writing pad and a stationery drawer opens underneath it. The accompanying Leather Okavango Chair is a natural companion to the desk. Built with carefully cut mortice and tenon joints, this robust design provides excellent support and comfort for extended periods of work. Like the desk, the chair is hand-sprayed with lacquer for a durable finish. The seat and back are made from thick, vegetable-tanned bovine harness leather that is hand-stitched and riveted for exceptional durability. The chair ships flat with minor assembly required. |
