TABLE, COMMITTEE
c. 1920 - 2010Rectangular jarrah table with bevelled edges, supported by six turned legs. The four corner legs have modern alloy castors attached. There is a drawer on either end with two circular brass handles on an octagonal base plate, with a flower motif in the centre. One of the handles is not original. Both drawers have a locking mechanism but no key.
This table was purchased by the Armadale-Kelmscott Roads Board and was made in Western Australia from Western Australian jarrah. It was used by Road Board committees in the original Jull Street Roads Board building, and the later shire and city administration buildings. In 2006, it was transferred to the recently established Birtwistle Local Studies Library, where it was used by people doing research.
