18th c. Swedish Gustavian Period Painted Fall Front Desk
About the Item
An 18th century Swedish fall-front bureau from the Gustavian period wearing beautiful black paint, circa 1790. Original brass hardware and locks. This secretary displays neoclassical carving such as the dentil molding detail around the top. There are a variety of drawers with a secret door all behind the desk surface. The desk surface is 29.5 inches high.
The Gustavian style, named after King Gustav III of Sweden, is a restrained interpretation of the French Louis XV and Louis XVI style. King Gustav III was enamored with the neoclassical style and therefore created his own interpretation for Sweden.
