Arts & Crafts Rotating Cake Tea Stand c1910
A wonderful and somewhat unusual Arts and Crafts mahogany tea or cake stand, dating to circa 1910. The frame contains a spoked double wheel that suspends four copper trays for holding the cakes - or perhaps cucumber sandwiches! As the wheel is revolved so the different selections are revealed. Rather like a Ferris Wheel but on a somewhat smaller scale. The copper trays have riveted suspension handles and scalloped rims and are of good quality. I have certainly never seen another one similar. It is a great design and is in good condition, overall. There are a few small marks on the trays and slight markings to the supports, but all are commensurate with age. It measures 93cm high, 41cm wide and 39cm deep, with each tray 21.5cm across.
