The 19 th century saw the accumulation of conquest , empire building , politics and technology result in the biggest changes yet to affect global populations .
The Industrial Revolution reached its peak around 1840 , with far reaching consequences , as the western powers looked to consolidate and expand . This was achieved by an ever changing shift in allegiances . The biggest benefactors were the British and Russian empires .
Being the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution , Britain had a head start on the rest ; the Battle of Trafalgar , in 1805 , cemented this lead , with the Royal Navy remaining unchallenged for the next 100 years .
For British officers & scientific explorers , going on campaigns to the far flung corners of the globe presented many logistical problems . Not wishing to give up on the comforts of home , they designed furniture that was not only elegant and portable , but was also robust enough to take the knocks of international travel .
Trafalgar Campaign Furniture by Authentic Models seeks to recreate this bygone era . Many of our pieces are faithful reproductions of furniture that
graced the 19 th & early 20 th centuries ; consequently , they have interesting back stories .
Furniture should be anything but bland . With Trafalgar , you create a rich , interesting ambience that become focal points and conversation topics for your guests .
