Used Work Tables For Sale on 1stDibs

There is a range of used work tables for sale on 1stDibs. Frequently made of wood, metal and iron, all used work tables available were constructed with great care. There are all kinds of used work tables available, from those produced as long ago as the 18th Century to those made as recently as the 21st Century. There are many kinds of used work tables to choose from, but at 1stDibs, Industrial, Mid-Century Modern and Victorian used work tables are of considerable interest. Large used work tables can prove too imposing for some spaces, so the smaller used work tables available at 1stDibs — each spanning 11.5 inches in width — may make for a better choice. Friso Kramer, Wim Rietveld and Ahrend de Cirkel each produced beautiful used work tables that are worth considering.

How Much are Used Work Tables?

Prices for used work tables can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, used work tables begin at $116 and can go as high as $85,000, while the average can fetch as much as $2,825.

Finding the Right Industrial and Work Tables for You

From drafting tables to preparation tables to kitchen islands and more, the collection of antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables on 1stDibs features a wide range of robust furnishings that fit seamlessly into modern interiors.

Work tables, just like most tables, have evolved considerably over the years.

More than 1,000 years before iconic American furniture brand Herman Miller would help shape the way we work — and later, how we live at home — monks who lived and worked in medieval-era monasteries stood at what you might call crude writing desks, translating religious texts and copying them by hand.

While those who practiced the art of handwritten letters definitely needed a suitable writing desk, the world wouldn’t see proper roll-top desks and the like until the 19th century. Owing to the work of architects such as ​​Antoni Gaudí, these monastery “desks” were essentially work tables. (Chairs, much less actual desk chairs, weren’t a part of the workspace until the Renaissance.) It was a far cry from the cozy home office that affords many of us the opportunity to work remotely today.

Near the end of the 18th century, the Industrial Revolution brought with it the founding of mills and factories, and hand production methods gave way to machinery and mass production. Factory workers needed sturdy industrial tables to perform tasks that required precision and to support the manufacturing industry. Spare work tables — durable and easy to clean — were constructed of metal and wood and became essential on assembly lines and in packing facilities. Today, industrial-style furniture celebrates the past even as it suggests vigor, productivity and brawn.

Aside from how well antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables will fit in your industrial-style interior — think raw brick walls, exposed steel beams and oak floors — these furnishings have practical uses. They’re a must-have item for a number of creative endeavors: They’re an ideal food-prep surface in your kitchen or an efficient work surface for any kind of hands-on workshop or painting and drawing studio. With some creativity, you can turn a vintage wood industrial table or work table into a desk, dining room table or coffee table.

At 1stDibs, we love the industrial-style furniture trend, and here you can find a wide range of antique and vintage industrial tables and work tables as well as other furnishings that will look wonderful in your heavenly loft space.

The filament in a bulb is a conductor of electricity. It’s attached to contacts made of metal that are connected to a power supply. This allows for electricity to flow through it.
