About the Item

This oak secretary or "bureau" reflects the grace and class of Scandinavian styling from the late 1700's. The serpentine drawers and carved outer panel of the drop down desk add a romantic touch, accented by brass pulls and key escutcheons. The traditional interior with 10 unique, small drawers and central open "cubbie" offers perfect space to organize. Under the desk top are three standard large size drawers, each has two brass pulls used to open drawer. This oak bureau was later professionally painted with an exceptional antique white painted exterior complimented by a layered blue interior, updating the look while adding to the classic Scandinavian styling. Fully restored, drawers function, desktop is solid and ready to be used and enjoyed. Please enlarge photos to appreciate the painted finish distressed perfectly to fit the age and grace of this attractive oak secretary. Lock to desktop no longer functions, interior drawer bottoms show typical age-related separations. All nicks, scratches, signs of separation and wear are commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this lovely secretary.
