Description from the seller

Original Palini solid-wood school desk, an authentic piece of Italian school history.

Produced by the historic Palini of Pisogne, a company that for decades has furnished schools all over Italy, this desk preserves all the charm and quality of the era's craftsmanship. Equipped with a tilting top with a wide internal compartment for books and notebooks, it also features the characteristic carved wooden side handles, practical and sturdy, designed to facilitate its movement within classrooms.

It is in excellent preserved condition, with a solid structure, healthy wood and a splendid original patina. An object increasingly sought after by collectors, vintage enthusiasts, interior designers and lovers of vintage furnishings.

Perfect as a decorative accessory for home, study, shop, venue or as a collectible tied to the history of the Italian school.

A rare example of an original Palini school desk, a testament to Italian manufacturing excellence and to generations of students who lived school life on its desks.
