English Campaign Cabin Table
English Campaign Cabin Table
83111
An English walnut Cabin Table with top that is doubled in size when the flaps are raised.
The three drawers have round pressed brass handles that are original but not often seen on portable furniture. The drawers all had removable dividers, long since lost. Most were to the bottom drawer which look to be a size suitable to hold decanters or bottles. There is an original key for the bottom drawer which has a label describing the Cabin Table as a Military Chest. The table stands on short legs fitted with brass castors and has brass carrying handles to the sides.
This would have been a practical piece of furniture in a ship's cabin giving good storage and a table that could double in size for use or fold away when not needed. It is also quite an early date for such a piece of furniture. Circa 1810.
Folded size is given.
