A vintage ANCO BILT adjustable drafting table dating to the late 1940s–1950s, manufactured in Glendale, New York. Originally designed for architects and design studios, this piece retains its cast iron adjustment mechanism, original knobs, and maker’s stamp.
The solid wood frame features clean mid-century lines and a compact footprint (31” W x 23” D x 32” H), making it ideal for use as a drafting table, studio desk, or sculptural writing surface. The top adjusts smoothly via the original cast iron gear system.
The tabletop shows honest age and wear consistent with decades of studio use, including surface scratches and a small indentation. The wear reads as authentic patina rather than structural damage; the piece remains sturdy and fully functional.
A character-rich example of mid-century industrial design — practical, architectural, and increasingly collectible.
