Unusual and Stylish Pair of Early Adjustable Architect's Trestles

Oxidised and Patinated Hand Wrought and Cast Iron
Now with a Contemporary Glass Top
French, c.1870
29.50" high x 78.75" wide x 39.75" deep
(Ref: 31/4)

A most unusual pair of Architect’s or Draftsman’s adjustable trestles, with an interesting ratchet mechanism. Now hosting a solid contemporary glass top, these trestles are in good working condition. There is evidence of ageing and oxidisation to the metal, which has developed an interesting surface and patina to the delightfully linear and graphic form. Great conversation piece of significant rarity.
