Illuminated Adjustable Drafting Table, 1950s USA

About the Item

Incredible industrial grade light box drafting table. Extremely heavy and well made in the US, circa 1950s. Glass tabletop allows the light of two enclosed fluorescent tube lights to illuminate the surface. Knobs on either side of the table can be used to adjust the surface incline. Beautiful patina and character showcase this piece's age and sturdiness. This table is as much a stunning conversation piece as it is a functional appliance. On and off switch. Perfect for photography, architecture and animation. Incredibly rare, impossible find. Lightbox surface dimensions: 48" W x 30" H
