The solid oval top and fine moulded fore edge, the top sits on a folding base with a brass plaque which says “Holyrood folding antique tables, J & I Smith, Peebles, Patent number 13796”. The table stands on four tapering reeded legs, the reeding on the legs are of different sizes and fold into each other, they open in a cruciform fashion and lock the table in the open position. Towards the base the legs are intersected by shaped stretchers which allow the legs to fold into each other.
1890J & J Smith of Peebles were the makers of the Holyrood Folding Table which had a Patent number of 13796.
Smith are known to have been in existence at least by 1890 and described themselves on their letterhead as Coachbuilders, Cabinetmakers and Upholsterers, Auctioneers and Valuators with a factory at Dovecot and warerooms at High Street, Peebles.
