Description: | Oak drop-leaf table, reputedly from one of Captain Cook's ships, though without a specific vessel association. It has two leaves on a heavy square section underframe with single gates, which conceal a substantial compartment under the top when the leaves are down. The top and leaves are made from quarter-sawn oak. A reproduction was made for the 'Endeavour' replica of 1994 and is reported in Antonia MacArthur's 'HM Bark Endeavour: the story of the ship and her people' to have fitted neatly into an available space. | Publisher: | "http://collections.rmg.co.uk/" | Subjects: | drop leaf tables Endeavour 1994 James Cook | Source: | Royal Museums Greenwich | Identifier: | http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections... | Go to resource |
