I think I’m in love..

I was wanting a small desk, my nephew brings this over,


Some sort of drafting desk?
Has anyone seen this before?
No matter I love it!

Could be a drafting table, used for design, plans or drawings
LavidaRaq · F
@Sequoia51 I’m thinking so

Yes it's a draftsman's desk. The lip goes at the bottom to hold pencils, erasers, scales, etc. While they work. Probably 80-100 yrs old .

@goodlil666 thanks I kinda thought that
goodlil666 · 51-55, M
@LavidaRaq probably worth several hundred dollars
LavidaRaq · F
@goodlil666 wow, nice to know, thank you

That is an antique. It is awesome.

@Degbeme doubtful, I’m sure it’s over 20 🙂

@LavidaRaq Oh! Flattery will get you coffee. ☕
LavidaRaq · F
@Degbeme now, that’s my language 🙂

I used to have one. It has the antique feel. You truly made a great score
LavidaRaq · F
@SW-User yes, it’s definitely old. My nephew bought an old house and he was going to throw it away
SW-User
@LavidaRaq Good thing he kept it. That is practically a collector's item
Ferric67 · M
Yes, I once bought a similar one from a thrift store
LavidaRaq · F
@Ferric67 do you still use it?
Ferric67 · M
@LavidaRaq when I moved, I left most of my things there (I wanted to emotionally disconnect from my past)...so, that was left behind

Ever since that change in my life, everything has shifted for the better
LavidaRaq · F
@Ferric67 good for you. 🙂

Its beautiful!!!!

@LavidaRaq I believe the arm is on the right as the lip is to keep things from falling off the slanted desk!
LavidaRaq · F
@WolfGirlwh0r3 yes I’m sure it is. The top moves and can be angled more
WolfGirlwh0r3 · 36-40, T
@LavidaRaq Well may i suggest giving it an all over sanding and a good sealant on the desk and some heavy duty rustolium on the base

That's what it looks like. I bet it would clean up nice.

That’s very thoughtful of him!!
LavidaRaq · F
@Quimliqer it was and I’m so grateful.
LavidaRaq · F
@vetguy1991 I think so too 🙂
