English Art Deco Pop-Up Cocktail Table in Walnut, 1930s

English Art Deco Cocktail Table

An ingenious and stylish English Art Deco cocktail table from the 1930s, crafted in richly figured walnut with a hidden pop-up drinks server. Combining practicality with elegant design, this piece reflects the glamour and innovation of the period.

The round top is veneered in beautifully grained walnut, resting on a cylindrical pedestal base with a stepped foot and subtle moulding. The centre of the table cleverly conceals a pop-up mechanism: at the press of a button, a brass column rises to reveal a circular tray and bottle holders, offering a sophisticated solution for serving cocktails.

A functional and decorative piece, perfect for entertaining or as a conversation starter in any design-led interior.
