About the Item
A rare and finely crafted two-part Gustavian secretary cabinet from Sweden, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century. This piece is characterized by its stately architectural cornice, original hand-painted patina in soft grey-green tones, and elegant neoclassical lines typical of the Gustavian style.
The upper cabinet features two glazed doors with interior shelving, ideal for displaying ceramics or books. The lower section opens to reveal a slanted writing surface and a beautifully detailed interior with multiple small drawers and compartments, designed for storing correspondence and valuables. Beneath the writing desk are four spacious drawers with original brass ring pulls, all functioning smoothly.
The cabinet sits on shaped bracket feet and displays exquisite craftsmanship throughout, with hand-carved detailing and an aged finish that enhances its authentic antique charm.
Condition: Excellent structural condition. The paint shows intentional distress and wear consistent with age, adding to its decorative appeal. All drawers open and close well. Locks and keys intact where present.
