40x20x38 Manufactured by the J.H. Rosberg Mfg. Co. of Chicago, this specialized watchmaker’s or jeweler’s workbench is constructed from hardwood with a dark-stained finish. The piece features a light-toned wood work surface with a raised wrap-around gallery on three sides and a recessed rectangular panel inset into the center.

All drawers are fitted with integrated, recessed finger-pull handles. A large central pull-out work tray features a characteristic semi-circular cutout for close-up craft work.
