A Swedish Gustavian style drop front secretary from circa 1840 with gray painted finish, writing area and three graduated drawers. 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.
