Adjustable Drafting Tables For Sale on 1stDibs
An assortment of adjustable drafting tables is available at 1stDibs. Each of these unique adjustable drafting tables was constructed with extraordinary care, often using metal, wood and iron. Adjustable drafting tables have long been popular, with older editions for sale from the 19th Century and newer versions made as recently as the 21st Century. Adjustable drafting tables are generally popular furniture pieces, but Industrial, Mid-Century Modern and Art Nouveau styles are often sought at 1stDibs. Dietzgen, Keuffel and Esser Co. and A. Lietz Co. each produced beautiful adjustable drafting tables that are worth considering.
How Much are Adjustable Drafting Tables?
Prices for adjustable drafting tables can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — at 1stDibs, adjustable drafting tables begin at $685 and can go as high as $11,500, while the average can fetch as much as $2,975.
Finding the Right Tables for You
The right vintage, new or antique tables can help make any space in your home stand out.
Over the years, the variety of tables available to us, as well as our specific needs for said tables, has broadened. Today, with all manner of these must-have furnishings differing in shape, material and style, any dining room table can shine just as brightly as the guests who gather around it.
Remember, when shopping for a dining table, it must fit your dining area, and you need to account for space around the table too — think outside the box, as an oval dining table may work for tighter spaces. Alternatively, if you’ve got the room, a Regency-style dining table can elevate any formal occasion at mealtime.
Innovative furniture makers and designers have also redefined what a table can be. Whether it’s an unconventional Ping-Pong table, a brass side table to display your treasured collectibles or a Louis Vuitton steamer trunk to add an air of nostalgia to your loft, your table can say a lot about you.
The visionary work of French designer Xavier Lavergne, for example, includes tables that draw on the forms of celestial bodies as often as they do aquatic creatures or fossils. Elsewhere, Italian architect Gae Aulenti, who looked to Roman architecture in crafting her stately Jumbo coffee table, created clever glass-topped mobile coffee tables that move on bicycle tires or sculpted wood wheels for Fontana Arte.
Coffee and cocktail tables can serve as a room’s centerpiece with attention-grabbing details and colors. Glass varieties will keep your hardwood flooring and dazzling area rugs on display, while a marble or stone coffee table in a modern interior can showcase your prized art books and decorative objects. A unique vintage desk or writing table can bring sophistication and even a bit of spice to your work life.
No matter your desired form or function, a quality table for your living space is a sound investment. On 1stDibs, browse a collection of vintage, new and antique bedside tables, mid-century end tables and more .
Questions About Adjustable Drafting Tables
- What is the best drafting table?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021The best drawing table is one that is versatile, adjustable, and made of high-quality materials. There is a variety of drafting table styles and designs to choose from — it's all a matter of personal preference. Four-post and pedestal drafting tables are considered to be far more durable than fold-away tables. Larger top sizes are available with respect to these tables, but they are often more expensive. On 1stDibs, shop vintage and antique drafting tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Whether or not drafting tables are adjustable for height depends on their design. Standard tables feature fixed tops. Height adjustability is an extra feature added to some models to improve utility. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of drafting tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2023A table used for drafting can simply be called a drafting table. Other names for drafting tables are artist's table, drawing table and architect's table. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of drafting tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Whether or not drafting tables are good for artists is largely a matter of personal opinion. Artists may find it more comfortable to use one for long sessions of illustrating and drawing. In addition, some artists appreciate that the tables keep their work secure. Find a range of drafting tables on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023The main difference between a drawing table and a drafting table is adjustability. Typically, drawing table writing surfaces are stationary, while most drafting tables can be tilted and moved up and down. However, some people use the terms drawing and drafting table interchangeably to describe any table with a tilted writing surface. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of drafting tables.
- 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Yes, many architects still use drafting tables. Although much of architectural design involves computer-aided drafting, many professionals still prefer to draw by hand. Artists may also purchase drafting tables for producing illustrations and sketches. Find a collection of drafting tables on 1stDibs.
