African Mahogany Furniture
Like everything else we offer, our British Campaign furniture and accessories are unique and have a great story behind them. These pieces are extremely sturdy and were designed to go together very quickly and then break down in minutes for storage or transportation. It is almost be impossible to tell the difference between these items and what was supplied to the British military in the late 1800's and early 1900's during their many campaigns around the world when the "Sun never set on the British Empire". This versatile furniture first saw service in India and was then used extensively during the Boer War in South Africa. After that, it continued to earn its stripes on the Dark Continent during the Golden Age of Safaris that started in the early 1920's. Over 100 years after its original debut, some of the very best African Safari Outfitters are still putting it through its paces.
All these products will last several lifetimes and use the best raw materials available.

The "Spanish Chair" in Leather - African Mahogany
About This Product
The “SPANISH CHAIR” is considered one of the finest pieces designed during the “Danish Modern” era. Borge Mogenson was the creator of this beautiful piece in 1958 and the broad armrests, which can hold a phone or a cocktail, are one of its distinguishing features. The angled legs support the low slung seat for unmatched comfort and the functional straps can be tightened as the seat breaks-in over time. Our Africanized version features an exotic African mahogany frame and leather seat and back for a striking contrast.
This chair comes with assembly instructions and can be put together in about 15 minutes with long metal joining screws and bolts. Once put together, it is meant to be left standing as it will quickly become your favorite seat in the house. 26“ H, 32” W, 19” D with seat height of 13.5” (low).

Take-Down Campaign Chair - African Mahogany
About This Product
This chair is named in honor of the headquarters of the Indian Army Corps of Engineers at Roorkhee, India and a mainstay of the Army and Navy Stores Catalogs. The Roorkhee chair was among the most popular models of campaign chairs used by British Officers from approximately 1898 to the start of WW II. They needed a chair that was lightweight, could be folded up, carried around easily and loaded onto a packhorse. It also needed to be comfortable and able to adapt to use on uneven terrain without breaking.
It is the perfect height for a standard dining room table and the overall height (39"), armrests (29") and seat (18") are 5" taller than the regular sized version. Optional heavy-duty canvas cushion for added comfort is available.
