That’s it! Our vintage industrial architect drafting table is finished!

Are you looking for a great piece of Industrial Furniture to add a Vintage Character to your interior?

I’ve got what you need!

I’m pleased to present you today this beautiful vintage/industrial drafting table manufactured in the 1950’s by the hydraulics expert Nike of Eskilstuna from Sweden. Nike is one of the leading companies when it comes to high pressure hydraulics.  They started in the late 1920’s in Sweden and have subsidiaries in England and the USA.

After

I’ve found this treasure in the heart of London. It was owned by a very friendly artist. See how it looked before its restoration, it’s amazing!

industrial vintage drafting table by Nike of Eskilstuna Sweden manufactured in 1950

Before

It still has its original number stamp on the table: B208203, also its brand stamp with number 12397 on it, and its original number stamp on the base: B100292.

The base is made from cast iron and metal with an aluminum foot with a 360 degrees swivel function. The hydraulic foot pedal system is very smooth and silent. It was polished to give it a wonderful industrial appearance.

The table was refurbished and painted with some wood dye and then lacquered.

The angle of the table is fully adjustable from horizontal to almost vertical.

Dimensions: Base: 60 cm diameter – 1 feet and 11,62 inches

Top: 91 cm x 151 cm – 2 feet and 11,88 inches x 4 feet and 11,45 inches.

Height: 81 cm – 2 feet and 7,88 inches

It comes with a vintage Kuhlmann table machine arm and its original gutter to hold pencils, and there is still a clear paper roll.

Add an authentic vintage industrial look in your interior. It would be perfect used as a desk in your living room, bedroom or in an office even in a shop. It is a massive item, which can really impress everybody!

    • Hello Paul,

      It is indeed a beautiful vintage industrial table! A very rare piece of mechanics. Unfortunately, sorry, it’s sold.
      For this kind of Nike table, difficult to find one below £2000, until now the most expensive I have ever seen was a great one with a massive acrylic top at… $10 000 !!
      I will let you know if I find another one.
      Kind Regards,
      Helene

  6. I have a Eskilstuna Nike Drafting table with what appears to be very similiar working parts as those in your pictures however mine has no serial numbers anywhere, it has a single shaft with foot pump at the bottom and three legs.The table appears made out of some type of hard board with an aluminum frame. It is supported by two separate arms on the underside.
    Is there any chance you may recognize this particular one.
    Thank you

      Thank you for contacting us.
      Indeed, it is far Australia, but what a lovely country!
      You have a little beauty and I know very heavy.
      I have from time to time some people asking me if I have one in stock and I will definitely recommend yours if I have someone from Australia asking for it.

  12. I have an amazing one of a kind vintage drafting table I am looking to sell and found you searching on the internet and I can not find one even close to this one?
    Please I need more information on how to sell and what the sale price would be?

    • Hello,

      Thank you for contacting us.
      The price of your table will depend of its state and how original it is.
      I presume you are in UK, if so, don’t hesitate to put it on Ebay, at a fixe price if you do have a price in mind and expect a certain amount for it.
      Otherwise you can try auction with a reserve price.
      Good luck!
      Kind Regards,

      Helen

  13. Hello,

    maybe someone could help me. I have one of this drafting table and will keep it but the problem is the hydraulic foot pedal system. I saw that some oil comes out from the base. So it could be the sealing ring. Does anyone had the same problem?
    Is it possible to get spare parts?
    And is it possible to change the oil after replace the sealing ring?

    • Hello,

      thank you so much for contacting us.
      Sorry to hear that you have many problems with your drafting table.
      Unfortunately, we are unable to help you finding parts, maybe if it’s Nike of Estulna, just right them, they might be able to help you and tell you what is wrong and where to buy spare parts.
      Anyway, good luck with it.
      Kind Regards,

      Helen

    • Hello Rickie,

      Thank you so much for contacting us, those drawing table are indeed incredible, but unfortunately we are not interested right now.
      Kind Regards,

      Helen
