School Abacus – Folk Art – 19th Century
A superb educational abacus, a testament to the teaching of elementary arithmetic at the end of the 19th century. This master model, designed to sit on a desk, features an architecturally structured solid wood frame resting on two elegant, bracket-shaped legs. It comprises ten rows of turned wooden beads, displaying a remarkable original patina, dark and nuanced by time. The contrast between the natural wood and the metal rods creates a striking visual effect, typical of scientific and technical curiosities of the period. Key features: • Authenticity: An original, unrestored school object that has retained all its character. • Decoration: Ideal for a cabinet of curiosities or an "Industrial/Trade" themed setting. • Condition: Sound and stable structure, authentic patina.
