DESCRIPTION
This is a genuinely old drafting table, built for working hands, not decoration. Solid wood construction with an adjustable tilting top, integrated storage tray, and a sturdy A-frame base. These were standard issue in architecture studios, engineering offices, and drafting rooms long before CAD replaced pencil and vellum.
The surface shows decades of honest use, with rich patina, wear patterns, and grain that only comes from age and function. It works exactly as intended and still feels solid, stable, and purposeful. Today, it makes a striking studio desk, creative workstation, or sculptural statement piece in a modern interior.
This is real utility furniture with presence. No reproductions. No faux distressing.
Please note this piece does not appear to have a maker's mark.

WHY THIS PIECE
True drafting tables like this are getting harder to find intact. Most were scrapped, cut down, or discarded when studios modernized. This one survived because it was built right. It carries history, purpose, and presence that new furniture cannot fake.
Perfect for architects, artists, designers, or anyone who appreciates furniture that earned its wear.
