Description

A good quality drop leaf oak coffee table dating from circa 1940s. With an oval top in solid oak raised on chamfered legs united by a cross stretcher, raised on arched feet. In good, clean and original condition. The leaves lift up and it twists around to make a solid table top. Perfect height to use as a coffee table or side table. With the “two cheese” marks underneath the logo for the Utility Furniture Advisory Committee of 1942.

The Utility Furniture Advisory Committee set up in 1942, drawing on considerable expertise, principally Gordon Russell and Ernest Clench, also Herman Lebus and John Gloag, in order to assure that the scarce available resources were used in a sensible way. New furniture was rationed and was restricted to newly-weds and people who had been bombed out, under the “Domestic Furniture (Control of Manufacture and Supply (No 2)) Order 1942” operative from 1 November 1942. The CC41 mark. The same logo was used for Utility Furniture as had been developed for the Utility clothing scheme: two capital letters C’s and the figure 41, for “Controlled Commodity 1941” (which soon became known as “The Two Cheeses”).
