About the Item

It is titled "Table Soleil" which translates to sun table in English. Walnut straps, fitted with a spring loaded mechanism on the long ends of the table, allow for large sheets of paper to be held in place when drafting. Manufactured by Emile Chouanard, the director of the Aux Forges de Vul-cain in Paris at 3 rue Saint-Denis.
