This Queen Anne style canteen of cutlery from 1920 comprises a fitted burr walnut case resting on graceful cabriole legs with pad feet, containing a comprehensive set of silver-plated flatware and steel utensils by Elkington and Co. The warm brown timber displays a rich, figured burr grain across its serpentine front top and sides, complemented by polished brass-toned drawer pulls and brass drop handles, while two pull-out drawers are lined with brown felt to secure the complete twelve-place setting alongside serving ladles, knives, and forks. Additional pieces rest on the top surface. The case stands at an approximate height of 75 cm, making it a functional statement piece. Suitable for a dining room or living space, the canteen functions as both a decorative side table and a practical storage unit for formal dining ware. The piece integrates easily into traditional or English country house interiors, providing accessible storage for tableware during gatherings. The removable legs allow the table to transition onto a sideboard or tabletop surface, offering versatility in placement for modern homes.

FAQs

A cutlery canteen table is a piece of storage furniture constructed with fitted, lined drawers designed to organize and protect a complete set of dining flatware and serving utensils.

Traditional canteens are made from cabinet woods like burr walnut, mahogany, or oak, featuring brass handles and interiors lined with baize or velvet to prevent silverware oxidisation and scratching.

Authentic canteens feature custom-moulded interior drawer slots tailored to individual utensils, hand-cut dovetail drawer joints, and hallmark stamps on the accompanying silver plate or sterling cutlery.

A canteen table serves as a functional side table or accent piece in a formal dining room, entryway, or living space, providing compact storage and historical texture.

Condition the timber exterior with natural beeswax polish, store the cabinet away from direct heat sources, and polish the silver flatware periodically with silver cloth to limit tarnishing.
