Characteristics

A rare mahogany Victorian book binders' pressing table. Two drawers with original turned wooden knobs over square legs which are splayed at the bottom to allow for distribution of the weight of the heavy press which would once have sat on the table. Today, without its press, it's a great size for a side, occasional or bedside table. In very good and sturdy condition, with a beautiful, rich patina throughout.

Sustainability

The average piece of furniture generates approximately 47kg of carbon dioxide equivalents – roughly the same as burning 5.3 gallons of petrol. Buying this item second-hand versus a newly made equivalent recovers the energy used to make it, rather than generating further emissions and using new materials.
