Swedish Gustavian Style 19th Century Painted Slant Front Desk with Three Drawers

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A Swedish Gustavian style painted wood secretary from the 19th century, with slant front desk, multiple drawers, grey painted interior, three drawers in the façade and diamond motifs. Created in Sweden during the 19th century, this painted secretary showcases the stylistic traits reminiscent of the Gustavian era. This piece features a narrow rectangular top sitting above a slant front desk with carved diamond motifs, opening to reveal a grey painted interior. Multiple drawers surround a central door. The writing area comes to rest on two pull outs. The lower section presents three graduated drawers, fitted with brass ring pulls. The sides are plain and the back is, of course, unfinished. The secretary is painted in a soft color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the long and dark winters of Scandinavia. The ensemble is raised on four tapered feet.
