Antique Regency Mahogany Metamorphic 3 Tier Dumbwaiter Pedestal Side Table 1830
A very good quality antique Regency mahogany metamorphic dumb waiter/side table, attributed to Gillows of Lancaster, circa 1830. When closed this is a vesy useful side or serving table & when activated opens to reveal a three tier dumb waiter. The rectangular shaped top when lifted becomes the top tier as the interior pedestal extends upwards and the 3rd tier lowers automatically by a concealed mechanism. When locked in position all the tiers are stable & robust and are perfect for serving, the three tier dumb waiter easily & smoothly returns to a table by pressing a lever on the top part of the pedestal and locks tightly into place as a table once again. (please see the video attached of the table being operated by one of Bloomsbury's staff members)The table is made from figured Cuban mahogany and is raised on a quatrefoil base with turned & compressed bun feet, condition is very good, retaining the original patina.Table height when open is 40"
