By Court

They are essential for people working in many engineering and mechanical fields. They aren't just for commercial use, obviously they're necessary in education settings and even in homes.

If the history of the desk can be traced and documented, the value goes up dramatically. Many people truly enjoy working at a table with so much incredible history behind it. The fact that these older desks were so sturdy and well built, means that they are often passed down within families from one generation to the next.

If you are looking for a piece of furniture that may complete the look you want for a home library or an artist's studio, you might want to consider acquiring antique drafting tables. It is not simply an artifact or art piece for display, but is a complete piece of furniture - with elegance and beauty befitting an antique, and the functionality that makes it a welcome addition to any artist's workroom.
