About the Item

High-Adjustable Architect's Table France Mahogany Mid 19th century Dimensions: H x W x D: 79 x 93 x 56 cm, height adjustment: 79 - 120 cm Description: Rare writing and drawing table from the middle of the 19th century, adjustable in height and inclination. Probably originally designed as travelling furniture, the turned legs can be unscrewed using a wooden thread. This meant that the desk could and can be stowed away to save space - practical back then for transporting between other pieces of luggage in a carriage, practical today for international shipping. At the front, there is a full-width drawer in the frame, while small leather-covered trays can be pulled out at the sides. The height adjustability of the work surface is spectacular. The height and inclination can be adjusted in numerous variations with the help of two toothed strips. This transforms the piece of furniture from a desk to a standing desk in just a few simple steps. Well thought out and excellently crafted. Condition: Restored condition suitable for everyday use. The system works perfectly. The table is absolutely stable.
