The artisanry and the materials are so beautiful on this piece, it is hard to believe that it would have been just one of many in a classroom. Perfect for an Arts & Crafts home. Vivid quarter sawn oak grain on this student chair with built in writing surface. Instead of a writing tablet, it could hold a cocktail. The design is elegant and the construction superb, reminiscent of Stickley and Limbert. Maker unknown.
