About the Item

Early 19th Century Swedish Pine Secretary Bureau Early 19th-century Swedish pine secretary featuring exceptional hand-carved details and the warm, deep patina of 200 years of use. The lower section includes three large drawers topped by a narrow drawer, all opening with brass pulls. The upper cabinet is crowned with latticework and a decorative carved heart at the center door. Interior includes two shelves and a central notched rack originally used to display family silver. The drop-front desk opens to an interior showcasing impressive craftsmanship, with multiple carved drawers and curved drawer fronts that required advanced skill during construction. The writing surface rests on extending wood arms. Old locks on both the upper cabinet and central desk still function, though stiffly. Fluted carving continues across the skirt and sides, reflecting classic Swedish styling. Open Depth: 34" Floor to Desk Height: 31" Restored, strong, stable and ready for use. Built in two sections. All scratches (seen throughout front and desktop), cracks, dings/nicks, and age related separation (see back) and are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this lovely secretary.
