Fabulous Repurposed Painted Barrel Top Royal Navy Glazed Coffee Table. HMS Valiant 1863
HMS Valiant (1863), was the second ship of the Hector-class broadside Ironclad frigates ordered by the Royal Navy in 1861. Upon being commissioned in 1868 the ship was assigned as the First Reserve guard ship for Southern Ireland, where she remained until she was decommissioned in 1885. Valiant was hulked in 1897 as part of the stoker training school HMS Indus, before becoming a storeship for kite balloons during the First World War. The ship was converted to a floating oil tank in 1926 and served in that role until sold for scrap in 1956.
The table is in fine fettle and well constructed with castors to the base for ease of movement, I believe this to be one of a kind so don't dally!
