Biedermeier Writing Desk Chiffonier Secrétaire Cabinet Swedish Ormolu Detail

About the Item

Swedish antique Biedermeier writing desk chiffonier secrétaire cabinet in highly quilted golden birch veneers and finished in the Classic light honey color French polish. It has three main drawers, 11 small upper drawers, one upper long drawer, one small central door with hidden storage and two arched cubby holes with bone style knobs on the small drawers. The chiffonier has a wealth of carved detailing and provides both excellent storage and a writing desk with the drop down front lid. The back is plain wood and the chiffonier will be re-polished by our specialist polisher prior to shipping. We aim to leave some of the 'life' that the piece has acquired when re-polishing as otherwise it loses its personality. The item will be ready to ship approximate 2-3 weeks after purchase following the re-polish. Please note the locks are for show only. All in all a very special piece from our private collection. We will replace the handles with brass ones for shipping due to CITES regulations prior to shipping
