DESCRIPTIONThe origin of the term “Lazy Susan” is unknown although the invention of the object has often, probably erroneously, been attributed to Thomas Jefferson. Interesting as that may be, it does seem somewhat improbable as revolving “dumb-waiters” are known from much earlier periods.
This revolving example, in the finest quality mahogany, is constructed in an exceptional manner and incoperates some of the techniques the furniture partnership Johnson, Jupe and Company used in their innovative circular dining tables.
We have photographed the piece with three full size dining plates to provide a representation of the generous size.
A really nice and practical piece for any party and of course it can also be used as a display stand for sculpture and art.
London, c. 1835-40
