This antique Late Georgian table from England, created of mahogany, is big on design, craftsmanship and functionality. It features a top with ratchet hinged base that allow this piece to pivot for six adjustable (and reverse) angling possibilities, so that it provides a slanted surface accessible at either side of the table. Housed within the apron, above the single drawer, is a sliding wood top, lined with leather, which when extended out from the table, creates a desk top with writing pad surface. The drawers are fitted with brass pull hardware, and carved bracket accents adorn the underside of the skirt against each of the squared and subtly tapered legs from which this piece is raised. The leg clearance is 24.5" in height between the floor and the underside of the apron. This 19th century English architect's drafting table will make a functional work space, or simply an exquisite piece of history and handsome conversational piece which would look fantastic floated within a room with tilt top up for display.
