JEWELER’S WORKBENCH

Turn of the century primitive jewelers / watch maker work bench, best one I ever had, not only for the amazing zinc work details , like top half moon cover and zinc lined large tray and formed fold zinc smaller pull out tray but for his history. The jewelers family had history in the industry tracing back to early 1800′s New Orleans. At some point in time this bench was moved and placed in a spot where it had to be cut in order to fit. After cutting the piece they used an old sign from the previous generation to put it back together , when turning the piece you can still see the hand painted sign that reads WATCH MAKERS and other letters , also in the lower interior front shelf there’s more lettering to it.  Amazing piece of local history. 

A fantastic piece to place in an artist loft , high end jewelry or watch shop. Original paint and stunning patina, fantastic worn working top area. All the right thing !

Note: We added a steel frame for support onto the back but this piece will be just fine once is placed against a wall , can be also be fixed to the wall .

Item No. E4924

Dimensions: 38″ wide x 18 1/2″ deep x 43″ tall to working area and 55″ tall to zinc cover.
