Entry/Object ID

Description

One-piece desk/chair with wood seat and desk and plain, iron legs. Water rings on seat seem to indicate that it may have been used as a planter after it ceased to be used as a desk. The pencil groove on the rear of the desktop is off-center and runs off the left edge (as you would sit at the desk), as though the other half of the groove was on an adjoining desk.
