One Off Large Early Aviation Campaign Dining Table 8'

1900 - 1920

Sold by Prior and Willis

Description

One off Large early aviation campaign dining table 8'. A lovely table dating from 1910-1915. Amazing veneered top depicting a wooden two blade propeller attached to a 9 cylinder radial or rotary engine. A LOT of work went into this! Removable laminated mahogany legs with brass feet caps. We have never seen anything like it, nor can we find any similar examples on the internet... this must be a complete one off! A beautiful table that is solid, strong and has no loose joints. No woodworm.

As with all genuine antique furniture, you can expect to see some historic knocks, marks, wear, imperfections, cracks, scratches, repairs and/or alterations. Some scuffing/wear as you would expect from a campaign table. The softwood (so as not to be too heavy) planks that make up the top are exhibiting some curl and shrinkage, which has caused some cracking and undulation to the top veneer. The leg locking pins appear to be missing although the table is strong and solid without these.

Overall maximum dimensions: 121cm wide, 244cm long, 74cm high (55.5cm high knee hole).

Please check dimensions before purchasing.
