Leathercloth Fold Fronted Picnic Sets

Picture of 4 Person Coracle picnic set
  • Persons : Four
  • Maker : Coracle
  • Date : C.1912-1920
  • Dimensions : 76 cm wide

These sets were made by Coracle for Asprey and Mappin & Webb. Similar to the previous sets, but they incorporated a round copper kettle instead, and the interiors of the case were always lined in a variety of colours- blue, grey, green and fawn. The basic design were identical for the two retailers, and were again very popular. The nice touch of a Vesta case for lighting the burner housed in its own leather strap inside the lid, gave added appeal, plus the twin square drinks bottles were ideal for the family member who fancied a little tipple with his or her picnic!
