This is an elegant vintage brass and leather military drum converted into a side table, dating from the early 20th Century.
It bears superb hand painted decoration of the Royal Engineers logo and colours, with the inscription HONI SOINT QUI MAL Y PENSE (shamed be who thinks evil of it).
It has been fitted with an added glass top and leg so that it can be used as a coffee or occasional table.
The unique quality and elaborate design of this drum are certain to make it a talking point in your military collection.
