Antique Swedish Neoclassical Satin Birch Desk

About the Item

A magnificent antique satin birch Biedermeier leather top desk of the highest order. This was made in Sweden, it dates from around the 1880-1900 period. It has a strong neoclassical influence, with lovely geometric patterns on the front and back of the pedestals. This has an inverted breakfront design, and is a fantastic size. The quality is outstanding, with very deep drawers that run all the way inside to the back of the pedestals. The lower drawers are concealed by locking door, and the drawers also have removable and adjustable dividers. There is high quality brass wear, and a beautiful black gold tooled leather top. Additionally there are two very deep pull out slides that come out from beneath the top. The pedestals sit on lovely square block feet with black stripes that accentuate the lovely light colour tone. We have recently had this re-polished to a very high standard, the condition is excellent throughout for its age.
