Old Mahogany..

The cabinets for my eurorack "moog modular" are made of antique mahogany salvaged from old furniture.


 

My latest cabinet was made from a victorian dressing table, however this was itself a conversion  from something earlier. Here's the top of the cabinet above:

 The inscription reads:
                                       John Broadwood and Sons
                         Maufacturers to his Majesty and the Princesses
                        Great Pulteney Street   London   Golden Square 
 
Google "John Broadwood and Sons" to identify the original object !

I would date it as after 1808, as before 1808 it was "John Broadwood and Son" (singular), This probably makes "his majesty" either George III, George IV, or  William IV.
