A fine early 20th century mahogany cutlery canteen.The canteen is made in mahogany with an elegant bow front, shaped top and fine decorative line inlay running around the drawer fronts and cabinet. The hinged lid is centred with a small brass shield-shaped plaque and opens to reveal a fitted green interior, originally designed to hold a extensive table service.
Below are two large bow-front drawers, each fitted internally with further green fabric lined compartments for cutlery and serving pieces. The drawers retain their decorative brass drop handles, while brass carrying handles are fitted to either side of the cabinet.
Originally made to store and organise a complete service of cutlery, the canteen would now make an attractive decorative storage piece as well as being ideal for jewellery, watches, collections or smaller objects.
