Item Description

A Gibraltarian Relief Carved Drop Leaf Bobbin Table. The carved top with central coat of arms within a heraldic shield and flanked by pretty scrolling foliage. The triple towered castle is from the Gibraltar coat of arms which was first granted by a Royal Warrant passed in Toledo on 10 July 1502 by Isabella I of Castile during Gibraltar's Spanish period. Both leaves have carved figures which are possibly links to the Genoa as Gibraltar had a large population of Genoese. The whole stands on a rectangular bobbin turned frame with drawer with lock and key to one end. This was sourced locally in Sussex from an elderly customer who and her parents where from Gibraltar. An attractive table that could be used as a centre, occasional, side or console table. If used as a console against a wall with one leaf open the depth is 76cm.
