Antique Industrial Cast Iron Drafting Table – Adjustable | Circa 1890s–1910s

This striking antique industrial drafting table dates to the late 19th to early 20th century, showcasing the timeless design and craftsmanship typical of American makers such as Dietzgen, Washburn, or Keuffel & Esser. Even without a visible maker’s mark, its construction and style are highly characteristic of that era.

Built with a heavy cast iron tripod base for exceptional stability, this piece was originally designed for architects, engineers, and draftsmen. The solid hardwood top—likely oak or mahogany—adds warmth and character, beautifully contrasting the industrial metal base.

Fully functional and adjustable, the tabletop swivels, tilts from flat to vertical, and raises or lowers via a telescoping center stem, making it as versatile today as it was over a century ago.

The table features a rich, authentic patina from years of use, adding to its vintage charm and industrial appeal.

34” H x 31” W x 27” D

Condition:
