Georgian oval mahogany Pembroke table with secret strongbox drawer

An intriguing Georgian oval mahogany Pembroke table, the top with fine tapered and moulded edge to inset ebony and boxwood stringing; to each end a dummy drawer with original brass swan neck handles. Stands upon square tapered legs with boxwood stringing and terminating on low cast brass castors. The leaves are each supported by a pair of hinged lopers, between which, on one side, is concealed a deep, oak lined drawer with brass swan neck handle and lock, which is removable. A classic model with a bespoke extra dimension.
