A Swedish Baroque tall secretary from circa 1770, with slant front desk, light Gustavian gray painted finish, two doors, and four drawers. The secretary's tall, imposing structure is softened by the painted surface, creating a calm sophistication. The two doors, featuring simply carved panels, open to reveal an interior in antique powder blue, offering a stunning visual contrast and a hint of Baroque opulence. Inside, strategically placed shelves provide ample space for organizing books and displaying treasured items. The central slant front desk opens to a practical writing surface, surrounded by multiple drawers for storing writing materials. Below, the four drawers adorned with understated brass Chippendale-style hardware enhance the overall aesthetic while providing additional storage.
