This is an antique purdonium, a til-top table and coal box. An English, Edwardian, walnut side table dating to the early 20th Century. A fascinating Edwardian example in very good condition. Walnut displays fine colour and grain interest throughout. Brass maker's mark reads; 'The Barr Patent, Coalette' alongside a coat of arms. Continuous plinth base and riding upon original casters

Tabletop folds away and is held in place by a brass catch when elevated. Support is provided by a classical revival, square section post. The lower cabinet's hinged lid opens pleasingly in conjunction with the pair of doors. The original, removable metal lining tray resides inside.
