French antique Architect's Table, Directoire Period 1780-1800
About the Item
Explore a stunning late eighteenth-century Directoire Period architect’s desk crafted from figured mahogany. This exquisite piece features an adjustable green leather-lined writing surface with a hidden double rising system. Flanked by a pair of convenient pull-out slides and one long drawer, the desk opens to reveal an additional writing surface and sliding pen tray. Elevated on round tapering legs, this architect's table, also known as "table à la Tronchin" in French, pays homage to the Swiss physician Théodore Tronchin. Dr. Tronchin, an advocate of fresh air, exercise, and a moderate lifestyle, may have recommended this table to patients who spent prolonged hours in a seated position.
In excellent condition, the architect's table comes refinished with a French polish, radiating timeless elegance. The table ships from Germany, and shipping costs to Boston are included. Enhance your workspace with this unique and functional piece of history.
