1900 folding ironing console table

Rare ironing laingère table, 1900 office piece, foldable in wood. Remarkable engineering, its x-shaped foot unfolds and attaches itself in its housing while a trestle unfolds to secure in a housing under the narrowest narrow end. Remarkable engineering also of a tray without right angles which nevertheless falls pile: for it to be at right angles once folded vertically it will be necessary to put it on the ground wide side of the board. Left in her formidable patina, she makes a really interesting console with her footwork - an object of female craft both sensitive and practical, humble and noble, raw and beautiful, rare tribute to the work of women. Length 130cm. Height 80cm. Width at the widest 33cm. At the narrowest 20cm. Poetic and chic.
