Field Equipage

In the 18th century, travelling under canvas on military campaign, or while relocating, did not require sleeping on the ground, for those with proper means.

For all but the poorest, comfort was a primary concern, and their field equipage was of a fashion to match their station. Clergy, merchants, military officers, surveyors, lawyers, and plantation owners would all have had elaborate traveling furnishings plus servants to attend to their needs and comfort. It is toward this end that the Living History Shop offers the necessities of life as it was then.

We invite variation and new projects within our time period (1750-1790). Custom orders invited for other documented 18th Century items.
