A Swedish Gustavian style drop front secretary from circa 1840 with gray painted finish, writing area and three graduated drawers. This Swedish Gustavian style drop-front secretary, crafted around 1840, is a masterpiece of classical elegance. Its painted finish, a delicate blend of light and medium Gustavian gray with subtle distressing, gives it an aura of timeless beauty.
The rectangular top of this piece features distinctively protruding canted corners in the front, adding a touch of refinement to the design. The upper section reveals the drop-front desk, a charming surprise that opens to unveil a meticulously designed interior. Seven drawers encircle a central open compartment, providing a wealth of storage space for documents, letters, or treasured keepsakes.
Beneath the drop-front desk, the façade boasts three gracefully graduated drawers, enhancing both form and function. These drawers offer additional storage for your organizational needs while maintaining the secretary's exquisite aesthetic.
Short tapered feet elevate the piece, giving it a light and airy quality while ensuring it stands firmly on the ground. The desk height, at 30.3 inches, makes it a comfortable workspace for writing, computing, or crafting.
