The Victorian school desk also incorporates a hinged oak seat, which bears the initials “F.C.C” on the underside. This may be an abbreviation related to the makers’ name of the desk (Fishers School Furniture Company). Below, also sits an oak footrest.
The children’s school bench is constructed with a wonderful cast iron shaped frame, which incorporates the original working cast iron hinges to the desktop and seat. The fact that these are cast iron hinges are in such good original condition, is testament to the design and engineering quality of antique furniture from the late Victorian period! “Fishers School Furniture Company, West Bromwich, Staffs.” is stamped into the cast iron frame on both ends of the desk.
The Victorian school desk boasts a lovely mellow golden oak colour to the wood and what looks like the original black paint to the cast iron frame. It has a fantastic colour and patinaton this can only be achieved through age and years of care and cleaning it has received.
