Portable Table by Drew & Sons
Portable Table by Drew & Sons
A mahogany Campaign Table with inset ivorine plaque to the top for Drew & Sons.
The plaque notes 'Drew & Sons Makers Piccadilly Circus W.' but does not give the patent number 14010 as the larger version does. The table packs down easily once the hinged brass corner support struts are folded with the legs sitting within each other flush to the underside of the top. The legs have notches cut to them at the point the hinge passes them. For use the two leaves that rest on the top fold out to double the width of the table and are each supported by three hinges. It is interesting to note that one uniting rail between a pair of the legs has patch marks. It looks like they are to cover cut outs for two hinges that may have been made in error.
Drew & Sons enjoy a good reputation as makers and their marked campaign furniture does not come on the market often. Circa 1900.
