Antique, large sized (height 127 cm) architect/drawing or lectern table, France, 18th century

Beautiful antique high table used as drawing/architect table or lectern. Late 18th century.

The wood has aged beautifully and has a nice, warm patina all over. What makes this table so attractive in my opinio, is that is is quite a minimalistic design, without unnecessary decorative detailing. And, the fact that from both the left and right side of the upper lectern part, an extra wooden “shelf” or top can be pulled out from underneath.  Also the two large shelves underneath the top part is unusual and makes it an even more attractive piece as the shelves offer lots of space to display decorative objects, books or magazines.

The item originates from France and is in a good, solid condition with signs of usage and age which gives this eye-catching piece of furniture loads of character.

Size:
H 127 cm
W 82 cm (without the extension of the shelves left and right)
D 60 cm
