A Victorian boardroom table from a shipping office 8ft across

This fabulous table was made sometime between 1870 and 1890. The legs are all solid English oak, and the top is English oak veneered. The centre of the table has a 2ft inlaid compass rose showing all the points of the compass including the now little used 'West by North', etc. When aligned by a real compass, of course, all the points would then be accurate. The table was made for a shipping office boardroom in the North of England but sadly I do not know which one. There are twelve drawers for the twelve partners. The table is 8ft across and 29.5 inches tall but comes in three parts. The top in two parts for easy moving. This is a unique piece of maritime history which would work just as well as a large dining table as a boardroom table.
