A large Banker’s mahogany table-top,
Lloyds Bank, Birmingham, early 20th Century,
the mahogany rectangle constructed from only two planks, stabilised to each end with cross-grain end-battens,
£1,150
This large table-top was known to have been saved from Lloyds Bank in central Birmingham, by one of the managers there, a few decades ago. We assume it served as a boardroom table but came with a larger sibling of the same width – this may be an extension to the other (see 45825).
Subsequently, that manager and his family have enjoyed the use of the two table-tops for many years at family weddings and gatherings – bringing them out and supporting them on trestles.
