About the Item

19th century Swedish Biedermeier secretaire chest of drawers circa 1860. Fine example of a Karl Johan period secretaire which was Sweden's take on the French empire and the German biedermeier style movements. Rectangular top with elegant stepped cornice, veneered in a tiger birch which is cut to highlight the grain.  Top drawer partially pulls out and the drawer front drops down to form a writing surface, the rest of the drawer interior is fully fitted with 2 banks of 3 drawers flanking a central lockable tabernacle.  3 further drawers veneered in striking matched tiger birch.  All raised on block feet. Rich golden colour, re-polished by hand in our own workshop.  Expected minor surface marks in line with age and use.  Fine quality piece which is ready straight for the home. Fall height: 30"
