We are delighted to offer for sale this very rare original library table from around 1860 in mahogany, featuring integrated twin writing slopes. It is a very rare piece; I have not seen another like it. It can be used as a normal two-drawer desk or even as a dining table. The intended function was for two students or workers needing writing slopes to share, sitting face to face like a partner desk, but of course, it is a table. It comes with the original slides that can be removed, which hold books, etc., in place when using the slope incline. Each slope has 4-5 positions to adjust the angle accordingly. We have cleaned, waxed, and polished it from top to bottom; it shows various age-related marks and signs of use as one would expect, but overall it is in very good condition.
