Vintage Wooden Framed School Writing Slate with Pencil – Early 20th Century Educational Antique (23cm x 14cm)
.
Description
A charming and nostalgic early 20th century children’s writing slate, beautifully framed in warm-toned wood and carrying the gentle signs of a life once filled with learning.
.
Before exercise books became commonplace, slates like this were an essential part of everyday classroom life. Children practised their letters, numbers, and sums, wiping the surface clean and starting again — a simple, practical tool that quietly supported generations of young learners.
.
The natural slate surface shows authentic age wear and faint marks from past use, adding to its character and historical appeal. Its compact size makes it perfect for display, styling, or use as a decorative message board.
.
A cord and decorative wooden pencil are attached for presentation and gentle use. These are later additions rather than original fittings, but they complement the piece nicely and enhance its nostalgic charm.
.
Condition
Good vintage condition with age-related wear consistent with use:
Surface marks and light scratches to the slate
Minor wear and small marks to the wooden frame
Cord and pencil are later additions
Structurally sound and ready for display.
.
Approximate Date
Early 20th century, circa 1900–1920

Objet d’Art Story
There is something quietly touching about a small school slate — the echo of careful handwriting, the determination of small hands learning their first letters, the rhythm of lessons long past. Today, it brings a gentle sense of nostalgia to a home, nursery, or creative space — a reminder of simpler learning, patience, and the everyday objects that shaped childhood.

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.

I am absolutely delighted with this item. It arrived by post quicker than I expected. It was very well packaged up and I will add it to my ever growing collection..I spent quite a while deciding whether to add this [item] to it. it is exactly as you described.
