Our research: This item is found in the Smithsonian Institution with the following info: "Designed in 1905 by Samuel Parker Moulthrop, and manufactured by The Langslow Fowler Company, the Moulthrop Movable Chair Desk was an example of innovative school seating. It featured a scooped seat with a curved back support, a cut out handle on the back, a good sized drawer under the seat for school supplies and an attached moveable desk top that could be angled to take advantage of the light and positioned for better posture and penmanship."
