A fabulous oak cutlery canteen, heavily influenced by Edwardian design but most likely dating from the years immediately following the First World War.
Constructed in oak, the canteen has a particularly attractive figured grain throughout, with a hinged top centred by a brass shield-shaped cartouche. The front is fitted with two drawers, each with decorative cast metal drop handles, while recessed brass carrying handles are set into the sides.
The interior is fully fitted for an extensive table service, with individual divisions for knives, forks, spoons and serving pieces arranged across the upper compartment and two lower drawers. Small labels identify the positions for the different pieces of cutlery.
The canteen retains a green velvet-lined fitted interior, showing wear consistent with age and use. The traditional cabinetmaking, brass fittings and decorative handles all reflect the strong Edwardian influence seen in the design.
The oak has a lovely warm brown colour and good surface, with knocks, marks and general wear throughout consistent with its age and previous use.
