Swedish 18th Century Gustavian Slant-Front Desk
Made in Sweden around 1780, this petite Gustavian slant-front desk has been repainted in black with a blue interior. The slant, or fall, front opens to reveal a fitted writing interior, while the Gustavian style is seen in the restrained proportions of the piece. The repainted black exterior gives a strong, uniform surface, while the blue interior provides a contrasting accent when the desk is open. The petite scale makes it versatile, suited to smaller rooms. As a slant-front desk, it provides a writing surface and storage, suited to a study, sitting room, or bedroom. Its eighteenth-century date and painted finish give it period character. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the desk combines a writing surface, storage, and decorative form. As a petite Gustavian slant-front desk in black and blue, it offers a compact writing and storage piece with the restrained character of Swedish furniture.
