About the Item
Elevate your space with this rare matched pair of mid-century school desks, attributed to the renowned American Seating Company, circa 1950s. These beautifully restored pieces exemplify the craftsmanship and industrial design of American educational furniture from the post-war era.
Each desk features:
-A solid oak lift-top desktop, showcasing rich natural grain and warm patina.
-Coordinating oak seat and backrest, ergonomically contoured for comfort.
-Sturdy cast iron “T-base” supports, providing exceptional durability and vintage character.
-Both desk and chair rest on adjustable pedestal that can be raised or lowered.
-Swivel-mounted chairs, designed to rotate left and right—an innovative feature for its time.
-Perfect for collectors, designers, or anyone seeking authentic educational nostalgia. These desks blend seamlessly into eclectic interiors, children’s rooms, creative studios, or historic restorations.
-Wood is sanded, refinished, and coated with a protective layer of lacquer.
