Picanol, Ypres. Exceptional table in oak with mahogany and rosewood veneer decorated with bronze frames. Top finely sculpted with scenes of looms and crafts. On the side faces the coat of arms of the city of Ypres, inscription 5den Oogst 1946 (5 August 1946), a coat of arms with the initials BC (Bernard Steverlynck?) and a coat of arms with a football and the letters WAPS for the corporate football team "Weef Automaten Picanol Sport". High-quality furniture that was most likely made for a commemorative date, anniversary, sports tournament or special contest for the honorary chairman and co-founder of the WAPS, Bernard Steverlynck, who joined Picanol in 1943.
