About the Item
This classic Swedish antique secretary dates to the mid-19th century and exemplifies the restrained elegance of Scandinavian furniture from the period. Crafted in pine and finished in a soft, time-worn white, the piece retains a calm, architectural presence balanced by practical design. The upper section opens with a slanted flap, revealing a thoughtfully organized interior painted in a muted grey, featuring nine small drawers and a central storage compartment. The writing surface rests securely on two original supports, providing a generous and functional workspace. Below, the lower case offers three large drawers fitted with original working locks, each accompanied by its key. The molded base and solid proportions give the secretary a grounded, enduring character, while original iron side handles allow for easier movement. With its honest patina and well-preserved structure, this secretary reflects the quiet craftsmanship and functional beauty typical of Swedish furniture from the mid-19th century.
