French School Desk

19th Century

$1,995

Antique Rare Wood

We found this early 20th-century French school desk in Avignon, its slanted top lifting in three hinged sections to reveal the kind of compartments that once hid ink bottles, notebooks, and half-finished lessons. The oak surface has worn smooth with decades of scribbles and study, while the slim frame and sun-faded tone give it that quiet, lived-in ease Sylvie can never resist. Perfect as a console beneath a TV or in a study - a little piece of French discipline turned design poetry.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

This antique piece wears its history beautifully. It has ink stains and scratches from its history of use. As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it.
