Vintage School Teacher's Oak Desk with Drawers

Vintage School Teacher’s Oak Desk with Drawers

Here’s a traditional, characterful, vintage teacher’s desk now looking forward to retirement in a domestic setting. It carries a few of life’s scars and knocks on its surfaces but it’s still going strong, a well-built piece made to withstand the rigours of daily school life. Besides, this wear and tear is very much part of its history and character. It has neat, tidy proportions so won’t take up huge space in a room but it also offers plentiful storage with three drawers and an expansive top for working. It’s a real, old charmer.

Description

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, used condition. We have checked, cleaned and polished this piece, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior wood surfaces but otherwise the finish is original. The three drawers slide with ease, are well-made with dovetail joints and have clean, tidy interiors with light signs of use inside, as shown. The metal handles are all original and securely attached. There is a pull tray above the drawer for pens. Sadly we do not have a key for the lock. The exterior surfaces do carry knocks, marks and signs of aging as you would expect with a piece of this nature. Do refer to our photos for a accurate sense of its order. Overall, we feel the wear is part of its unique character and history. It’s very well-crafted, solid and stable. I
