Sisters of St. Joseph Motherhouse Study Desk for religious postulants-dark oak, sturdy, heavy, well-constructed, professionally refinished. These desks seated two (or three) postulants in classrooms at the motherhouse. A pencil tray runs the entire length of the desk. The original black paint was stripped and the desk (table) refinished in a dark oak stain. To protect the surface, a solid piece of beveled plate glass was cut to size. It was impossible to take a picture of the table surface without removing the heavy plate glass and a bookshelf that rests on the glass AND the reflection from the glass did not help show the surface.
Measurements: tabletop-21 3/4" wide X 60" long X 1 1/2" thick. There is an apron (skirt) directly below the top that measures 5 3/4" , so the overall depth of the top is 7 1/4". The apron is recessed 1 3/4" on all 4 sides. The table is 30" high, with 2 1/2" square legs. Metal casings, attached to the legs with bolts, cover the lower foot of the legs (for protection). The metal casing measures 2 1/4" on all sides and are 2 1/4" in height. The distance from back to front on the legs is 19". A stretcher connects the front and back legs, measuring 2 1/2" thick X X 1 11 1/2" wide X 14" long. The desk (table) is ideal for an office, but might work well in an entry way or living room. It is ideal for someone who has fond memories of the Sisters of St. Joseph and the original motherhouse on East Avenue, Pittsford, NY. The table is on the second floor and will have to be carried down 6 steps down to the front exit. As said, it is very heavy as is the piece of plate glass

$490 cash.
