FAQs

School slates were widely used by children for writing practice and arithmetic in classrooms throughout the nineteenth century before paper became sufficiently inexpensive for everyday schoolwork.

They were typically constructed with a writing surface made from split natural slate stone, framed in softwoods such as pine or hardwood, and often accompanied by a wooden or felt-edged slate pencil.

Authentic pieces generally display natural surface variations, hand-carved lettering or owner names in the wood, minor surface abrasions from actual use, and traditional mitred corner joinery.

A vintage school slate can be displayed mounted on a gallery wall, leaned on a mantelpiece, or styled on a desk to introduce texture and historical character to a room.

Preservation involves keeping the piece in a stable environment away from excessive moisture, dusting gently with a dry cloth, and avoiding abrasive chemical cleaners on the fragile stone surface.
