REFINISHED ANTIQUE OAK CHILDRENS ELEMENTARY GRADE SCHOOL DESK CHAIR

Description: WELCOME, THIS LISTING IS FOR AN ANTIQUE OAK CHILDRENS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHAIR. IT'S IN EXTREMELY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE. BEFORE LISTING THE CHAIR I TOTALLY REFINISHED IT AS THE ORIGINAL FINISH WAS TOTALLY GONE. IT HAS BEEN SANDED AND A COAT OF MINWAX GOLDEN OAK STAIN APPLIED. THEN IT WAS SEALED WITH MINWAX OIL SATAN POLYURETHANE WITH A SANDING BETWEEN COATS FOR ADHESION. A LOT OF WORK HAS WENT INTO THE CHAIR BEFORE LISTING IT HERE. 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 CHAIR HAS BEEN USED FOR AROUND 106 YEARS BY SCHOOL CHILDREN. ONE CAN IMAGINE HOW MANY 10,000's OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES THE CHAIR WAS SAT IN BY KIDS SO ITS NOT GOING TO BE 100% PERFECT AND MAY HAVE A DING HERE OR THERE, BUT ITS PRETTY CLOSE TO PERFECT. YOU CAN BLOW ALL THE PHOTOS UP TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL OAK WOOD GRAIN. YOU CAN THE CHAIR IS MAKE OF OAK WOOD, BUT AS A BONUS, PART OF THE CHAIR WAS MADE OF TIGER OAK WOOD. YOU CAN SEE AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IN THE SEAT WHERE SOME OF THE PIECES HAVE REGULAR OAK WOOD AND OTHER PIECES HAVE TIGER STRIPES IN THE WOOD AND ON ONE OF THE LEGS AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE LEG PHOTO ALSO HAS TIGER OAK. THE CHAIR IS 29 INCHES TALL FROM THE FLOOR TO THE TOP. THE SEAT IS 13 3/4 INCHES FROM FRONT TO BACK. THE SEAT ACROSS THE FRONT FROM LEFT TO RIGHT IS 15 1/4 INCHES WIDE. THE SEAT AS IT TAPERS IN THE BACK IS 13 1/4 INCHES WIDE. FROM THE FLOOR TO THE TOP OF THE SEAT IS 15 3/4 INCES TALL. A VERY NICE SCHOOL CHAIR TO DECORATE WITH OR ITS READY TO BE PUT IN USE. IT COULD EVEN BE USED AS A CHAIR FOR THE DOLL DISPLAY. ITS AROUND 2ND / 3RD GRADE SIZE UP TO 5TH / 6TH GRADE SIZE. IF YOUR CHILD IS YOUNGER A NICE CHAIR TO GROW INTO SO IT CAN BE USED FOR SEVERAL YEARS TO COME. 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. IN THE PHOTO ABOVE YOU CAN SEE PART OF A DECAL LEFT ON THE BOTTOM UNDERNEATH OF THE CHAIR. THIS WAS A DECAL FROM THE TELL CITY CHAIR COMPANY WHICH WAS FOUNDED IN 1865 AND WAS IN BUSINESS UNTIL THE 1990's. THE TELL CITY FURNITURE COMPANY WAS LOCATED IN TELL CITY, INDIANA. I WILL SHIP THIS WITH INSURANCE AND TRACKING AND THE CHEAPEST METHOD POSSIBLE WHICH WILL BE GROUND SHIPPING. THANK YOU Inventory Code tigerchairrefin12
