Former iron workbench from the majorette factory in the rhône in rillieux-la-pape, mythical brand of toys from our childhood founded in 1961. Composed of a work surface 90cm high, 85 by 150cm, 2 gigantic drawers (48.5x55cm and 14cm high), a recessed bottom tray that served as storage, storage, 150cm by 65cm deep, it is topped with an iron frame that included a shelf. This last climb with coarser welds was not part of the workbench at its creation, but this credence was cleverly added to increase the storage area when it was still in service in the rillieux factory. One can imagine this tray made of iron, wood or glass... The whole, very heavy, very stable, and imposing, reinforced by braces on the sides and back, was originally painted in dark green, typical of the industrial furniture of that time, some traces of this original painting remain (inside the façade (see photo) and back of the drawers), it was repainted with a green water that is still present inside the drawers, then a red and aluminum paint. We have chosen to offer it to you as it is, with its different layers of paint, traces of its history, the drawer on the left is a bit capricious, but works. The worktop at the rear is pierced by three holes to fix one of the famous jieldé industrial lamps (see photo) whose industrial production began in lyon in 1951. Other holes are present at the front always to the left of the board and were used to accommodate a vice. The various fasteners pierced on the drawers and the frame made it possible to lock the whole thing at the end of the day. The rust marks clearly visible in the photos do not reach the structure and solidity of this workbench. Initially used in an industrial setting we can imagine many reuses...
