Rare Victorian Games Table circa 1840 Drop Middle Secret Drawers and Buttons
About the Item
We are delighted to offer for sale this stunning and very rare circa 1840 early Victorian English Oak games table
This table is a bit of mystery, it has a square drop section in the middle which I assume is for making all the chips slide to the winners' side, it can be held down with two metal clips which are controlled by levers either side. There is a large button on side which I don’t know what it does, there are also two drawers which don’t seem to open, I assume the button unlocks the drawers and its not working, on the underside of the opposite side there are two secret buttons, again I have no IDEA what they do
In terms of condition we have deep cleaned hand condition waxed and hand polished it from top to bottom, the green felt is in good order, the middle drop mechanism works perfectly,
The table comes with four candle holders, two are metal two plastic which I assume are replacements, all are a little bent and take a while to get them to screw in the correct position

- Exquisite Victorian Hardwood Military Campaign Writing Slope Desk & Later StandLocated in GBWe are delighted to offer for sale this absolutely stunning original Antique Victorian Mahogany & Brass Military Campaign writing slope with later stand What a find, if you are in the market for this type of luxury antique militaria then look no further, this is the finest example I have personally seen. The timber patina is glorious, it’s a very old type of mahogany, most likely Cuban. The brass fixtures and fittings all operate perfectly and are flawlessly mounted The stand has been made at a later date to showcase and protect the piece, it is now the size of a normal side table. The writing slope itself has some interesting features, the top can be sat at a 45 degree angle for reading, there is a piece of beaded wood that slots into the two front holes, this holds and seats whatever literature you wish to rest there. The large side drawer is locked in place by a long metal rod, this rod also stops the drawer from coming all the way out. You have two internal document storage sections and various stationary cubby’s. The writing slope is baize lined and on the underside of the base you have a crosshatched silk ripped design which has been studded in place. This is exactly the same as antique LV steamer...Category
