Antique Wood Traveling Undertaker Table

 Antique Wood Traveling Undertaker Table

Antique Wood Embalming Tables (also called "cooling" tables) are highly sought after, especially the folding / traveling types. This specific piece was by Champion, who was usually known for oak morticians' pieces in the 1880s to late 1910's. The undertaker would travel when needed as funerals were held at home. 

The table completely folds down and locks into a manageable rectangle carrying case. One end of the table rises up in order to put wax, make-up etc. on the corpse. The original metal carry handle is present and sturdy. The solid oak design shows a beautiful grain and hand dovetailed sides. The surface area is a heavy veneer with small metal rivets. It was once covered in a leather sheath. The table glides across the floor with four large antique casters/wheels, all of which display a Victorian motif, which is uniquely stunning. 

The unique antique table is very sturdy and solid piece! It is certainly a conversation piece at your next dinner or picnic when used as a long table!
