34”h This auction lot features a vintage child-size wooden roll-top desk paired with a matching antique wooden spindle-back chair. The desk design incorporates a flat top display deck with a wavy camelback gallery rail, a curved tambour slatted roll-top door that slides open smoothly along side tracks, and an interior storage cubby grid containing five built-in mail slots and small organizing compartments. The supporting desk frame is built with square-cut legs reinforced by decorative vertical side slats, providing an open yet sturdy silhouette. The accompanying wooden chair features a rounded bow-back frame with five turned vertical support spindles, curved comfortable rear legs, and decorative light-blue paint remnants around the lower ringed leg stretchers. Both pieces showcase a rich, medium amber-brown stained finish that highlights the natural wood grain patterns, displaying a well-loved, field-aged character with minor superficial storage scuffs, tiny surface dings, and localized dark staining spots on the chair seat panel from previous childhood utility and long-term barn storage. This charming miniature set provides a fantastic furniture addition to children's playrooms, vintage bedroom layouts, or historic farmhouse property staging. Please review all the provided front perspective, open tambour door compartment, side profile, and standalone chair photographs to carefully evaluate the structural integrity, slatted slide function, and exact cosmetic state of this lot. This lot is for pick up only at 301 E. Park St. REAR Elizabethtown PA 17022 on Wednesday, 9/16 from 10 to 4 PM. Please call or text 717-286-8282 to schedule appointment. 24”h
