This authentic antique child’s school desk by Chandler features a solid wood writing surface paired with a sturdy cast iron base stamped “Chandler,” a respected American school furniture manufacturer active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Designed for early classroom use, the desk includes a fixed writing surface, an open storage compartment for books, and an original ink well opening, classic schoolhouse details that speak to its educational past. The wood top has been professionally sanded and stained in a warm brown tone, while the cast iron base has been repainted in a gloss black finish, giving the piece a refreshed yet historically respectful appearance. Chair shown in photos is for staging only and is not included.
Compact in scale and visually striking, this desk works beautifully as a decorative accent, child’s desk, or styled vignette in industrial, grandmillennial, primitive, or eclectic interiors.
