F 76.5Description
The cylindrical tambour dumbwaiter has a circular top and bottom, reeded on the outside edge and joined by tambour strips. The interior is a separate cylindrical drum formed by four evenly spaced boards creating three shelves and assembled with eight vertical members around the outside and staggered verticals near the center axis around which this drum rotates. The interior shelves are accessed through a sliding tambour door with two brass pulls. The cylindrical unit stands on four out swept legs with reeded tops, ending in cast brass paw feet and casters. On the top are two original metal pins which may have stabilized a fitted mahogany or Sheffield tray.Category
