Architect's Drafting Table

The table features a heavy-duty cast-iron base that provides a low center of gravity, ensuring it remains stable even when the tabletop is set to a steep angle. It is designed to handle the weight of drafting tools and paper without wobbling.

Yes, the height adjustment mechanism is manual and designed for straightforward operation. While it is sturdy, it can be adjusted by one person by loosening the tension points on the base.

The existing scratches and paint splotches are part of the table's character. To maintain the wood, we recommend using a high-quality furniture wax or a light wood oil to nourish the surface without removing the patina that gives it its antique charm.

While the wood is solid and stable, the surface shows moderate wear and texture from its history. If you plan to use it for fine-line drafting or writing, we recommend using a desk mat or a thick piece of cardstock to ensure a perfectly smooth writing surface.

This piece is sold as a pre-owned antique and is typically shipped or transported in its current state. Depending on the logistics, some minor disassembly of the top from the base may be required for safe transit.
