Small reading desk in solid walnut composed of a tray and a column adjustable in height and designed in 1940.
The whole rests on a rectangular base, molded with a second. Note that the design of this base, with a large footprint, provides perfect stability to the whole.
On this base is established a ribbed shaft, with a rectangular section, enclosing a central tube, chromed and cylindrical, benefiting from a sliding axis allowing the height adjustment of this atypical piece of furniture.
The reading support is supported by a metal frame and has the particularity of being adjustable in its degree of inclination thanks to a tightening handle located at its bottom. This tray with four cut sides is defined by a 4 cm thick strip surround and is embellished in its center with a panel made of a beautiful solid walnut wood, called "expanded". A fine brass rod is found on the front and back of this adjustable table, allowing to hold a book or other manuscript.
Unique and adaptable, this small lectern can retain its original function as a writing desk or lectern, particularly useful if the book is bulky or precious and cannot be held in the hand. This tilting table can also be used as a decorative object bringing uniqueness and personality to your interior.
