Description: WELCOME, THIS LISTING IS FOR AN ANTIQUE OAK CHILDRENS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DESK CHAIR. IT'S KINDERGARTEN TO FIRST, SECOND GRADE SIZE. IT'S IN EXTREMELY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. IT CAME FROM A SCHOOL BUILDING BUILT IN 1917, SO IT'S AGE IS SOMEWHERE IN THE TEEN'S MORE THAN LIKELY. ALL JOINTS ARE VERY TIGHT WITH NO PLAY. THE FINISH ON THE CHAIR IS A BROWN AS YOU CAN SEE. IT DOES HAVE SCRATCH INDENTIONS INTO THE WOOD HERE AND THERE, FROM BEING USED AROUND 106 YEARS BY SCHOOL CHILDREN SO OF COURSE ITS NOT GOING TO LOOK LIKE A NEW PIECE OF FURNITURE. IT HAS SOME CHIPS ON THE EDGES HERE AND THERE. PICTURES OF THOSE AREA CAN BE SEEN IN THE LAST 3 PICTURES OF THE 12 SHOWN. OF COURSE THERE ARE GOING TO BE CHIPS AND NICKS AS THE CHAIR WAS USED FOR DECADES IN A SCHOOL SETTING. YOU CAN BLOW ALL THE PHOTOS UP TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL OAK GRAIN. THE SEAT HAS A BEATIFUL PATTERN IN THE OAK WOOD AS YOU CAN SEE. OTHER AREAS OF THE CHAIR HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PATTERN IN THE WOOD GRAIN ALSO, AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS. LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE CHAIR ON THE BACKREST WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE ORIGINAL FINISH IS WORN FROM THE CHAIR BEING PULLED OUT FROM UNDER A DESK 1,000's OF TIMES. THIS GIVES THE WOOD A BEAUTIFUL PATINA TO SHOW ITS AGE. I HAVE COMPLETELY FINISHED THE CHAIR WITH HOWARDS RESTORE A FINISH. THIS COATING LEAVES THE ORIGINAL FINISH IN PLACE WHILE DARKENING LIGHT SCRATCHES WHERE THE FINISH IS MISSING AND THEN PUTS A CLEAR PROTECTIVE FINISH ACROSS THE ORIGINAL FINISH. THE CHAIR IS 22 1/4INCHES TALL; THE SEAT BOTTOM IS 12 1/2 INCHES FROM FRONT TO BACK. THE SEAT ACROSS THE FRONT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IS 13 3/4 INCHES ACROSS THE FRONT AND 12 1/4 INCHES ACROSS THE BACK FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AS THE SEAT TAPERS. A VERY NICE SCHOOL CHAIR TO DECORATE WITH OR ITS READY TO BE PUT IN USE. THIS CHAIR WAS MADE IN A PERIOD IN AMERICA WHERE THINGS WERE MADE IN THIS COUNTRY BY AMERICAN CRAFTSMEN AND MADE TO LAST, UNLIKE TODAYS CHEAP MADE IN CHINA THROW AWAY FURNITURE. I WILL SHIP THIS WITH INSURANCE AND TRACKING AND THE CHEAPEST METHOD POSSIBLE WHICH WILL BE GROUND SHIPPING. THANK YOU Inventory code yazred42a
