Antique Architect's Table - Table á Tronchin

France
Ash
around 1850


Dimensions: H x W x D: 83 x 96 x 66 cm

Description:
Architect's or draughtsman's table standing on round, multi-profiled legs. So-called "Table á Tronchin".
When folded, we see a simple desk with a leather-covered top and a wide drawer in the frame. The drawer has a practical compartment for organising writing and drawing materials.
By means of an ingenious system, the top can be placed at the back as well as raised at the front. Particularly interesting are the two supports that were previously recessed in the front two legs and are revealed when the top is raised. The height of the work surface can be varied via two brass toothed rails.

This makes the table suitable for working while sitting or standing. Technology that inspires!
