About the Item
A late 18th-century, antique Swedish Gustavian two-part bureau, meticulously handcrafted in painted pinewood, in good condition. This elegant light-grey secretaire embodies the refined aesthetic of Scandinavian neoclassicism. The upper portion features two finely grooved panel doors and a fold-down writing flap that reveals a thoughtfully designed interior with multiple compartment storages in various sizes - ideal for organizing documents, letters, or personal treasures. The top is crowned with a distinctive Schinkel-style pediment, lending a classical architectural touch.
The lower part of the secretary is composed of one small and three spacious drawers, all detailed with the original brass hardware and working keys, highlighting the bureau’s authenticity and craftsmanship. This piece is characterized by its clean lines, subtle ornamentation, and muted palette - hallmarks of the Gustavian period, which was inspired by the French neoclassical style introduced to Sweden during the reign of Gustav III of Sweden.
Minor fading, wear, and surface scratches are consistent with age and use, enhancing its patinated charm. A functional and decorative statement piece, this bureau blends historical elegance with timeless Scandinavian design.
Circa 1780–1800, Sweden, Scandinavia.
