Green Painted Oak Secretary Bureau from Sweden, circa 1760-1800
About the Item
This oak secretary or "bureau" reflects the grace and class of Swedish styling, resting on attractive carved feet.
The serpentine drawers and carved outer panel of the drop down desk add a romantic touch, accented by brass pulls and key escutcheon.
The traditional interior with small drawers and central “cubbie” with two petite drawers offers perfect space to organize.
Under the desk top is three standard large size drawers and upper narrow drawer, each has two brass pulls used to open drawer.
It was later professionally painted with an exceptional layered pale green exterior complimented by a steel/charcoal gray interior, updating the look while complimenting to the classic Swedish styling.
Restored, drawers function, desk top is solid and ready to be used and enjoyed. Please enlarge photos to appreciate the fascinating painted finish distressed perfectly to fit the age and grace of this attractive oak secretary.
One key will be included to use as pull for desk top and additional smaller key for interior cubbie (locks no longer function).
All scratches, cracks, dings, nicks, age related separation (seen in drawer bottoms), missing pieces or other imperfections are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this impressive secretary.
Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed. Photos are part of description, please ask for additional photos of any areas of specific interest or concern.
