1800s Scandinavian Light Painted Slant-Front Secretary with Multiple Drawers

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A Scandinavian slant-front secretary from circa 1800 with carved panel, four drawers, light gray / cream painted finish and carved bracket feet. Steeped in history and elegance, this Scandinavian slant-front secretary from circa 1800 is a testament to masterful craftsmanship and timeless design. The light gray and cream painted finish, quintessential of Scandinavian palettes, exudes a serene ambiance, harmoniously blending with the elegance of its carved panel. The secretary's slant front is embellished with a carved cartouche, gracefully unfolding to reveal a perfect arrangement of drawers and a central door — a tantalizing mix of function and artistry.

Beneath, the lower section organizes itself with an elegantly thin, narrow drawer perched above three spacious counterparts, all accentuated with gleaming brass hardware. Standing firm on simply carved bracket feet, the piece echoes grace from every angle. Boasting a desk depth of 34.25" and a comfortable height of 28.25", it ensures a spacious working surface.

Perfect for a refined study, luxurious bedroom, or even a sophisticated entryway, this secretary seamlessly marries functionality with beauty. Not merely a storage solution, it's an art piece that whispers tales of bygone eras. For homeowners seeking a touch of history meshed with practicality, this Scandinavian gem stands unrivaled.
