Vintage Pop Up Liquor / Drinks Table.
An elegant and sophisticated early 20th century elevating drinks table made from mahogany. Maple & Co. along with Asprey & Co. are known to have made this style of 'Elevette Drinks Cabinet'. There is an old ivorine inset label but with age and use the makers name is no longer there. On the inside there is a number stamp '926/11'. This piece of antique furniture would look good in anybodies home and imagine the surprise on your guests faces when from nowhere a drinks bar pops up. Outwardly it appears to be simply a beautifully crafted side table with the contents completely concealed when not in use. Thanks to its brilliant engineered mechanism, as the top is opened, the built-in platform rises from the centre of the table revealing a tantalus, cigar box and seventeen circular recesses for glasses. The cigar box has silver lettering 'Cigars' and silver corners, hallmarked London 1921, with makers mark PS & Co.. The pop up drinks bar is aised on square tapering legs joined by a circular shelf with balustrade (24cm diameter) for storing spirits and liquor and terminating with brass castors. When open the top measures 113cm wide by 60cm deep.

Everything about the cabinet is quality, from the original tantalus of three glass decanters held under lock (no key but open) to safeguard your drink from the children or servants, to the ease of the mechanism for lifting the drinks platform.

The circumferences for the glasses are 4 at 4cm, 4 at 6cm, 3 at 7.3cm and 6 at 8.5cm. The tallest glass can be 19cm high.

The tantalus and cigar box are part of the table but the drinks and glasses DO NOT come with the 'Elevette Drinks Cabinet', they are only there to demonstrate the appearance.
