Heywood-Wakefield drafting table cir. 1955. Completely original, restored by hand, in excellent overall condition. This is a very rare piece.

Authentic, Mid-Century Modern, vintage, RARE antique collector's piece. MCM.
Metal tubing and solid wood, (likely Northern Yellow Birch).

Designed for adults or older students in a school setting, the angled top can be made level using an internal latch.

This is a very rare Haywood-Wakefield piece, I have never seen another, even in photos.
All of the details are restored original and intact.
This is a comfortable drafting or writing desk for adults and older children. This is a classic piece of legacy furniture that has already lasted generations, and has many years of life left.
There are small imperfections appropriate for the age such as one or two slight dings in the metal at the front edge which are only visible when open, and some wood had cracked near the left hinge (SEE PHOTOS). These are very small in comparison to the overall impression and eclectic majesty this piece commands.
