About the Item

A Swedish Empire style chest with secretary from the 19th century. This antique case piece from Sweden has been designed in Swedish Empire style with a wonderful architectural appearance that is emphasized with an ebony pediment at top and ebony wrapped skirt molding. The cabinet has a recessed box built into the top (set back from the pediment) that can be opened to store items hidden discreetly within. The case houses a slender drawer at top, over the fall-front door (which opens to reveal a shelf with six small-sized drawers flanking a central cubby with door at it's center, and a single drawer at bottom that extends the full width of the secretary). Three full-sized, graduated drawers are housed at the bottom (for a total of four full-sized drawers). Each drawer, and fall-front door is minimally adorn with a single shield-shaped escutcheon set at it's center. This piece is raised on bracket style feet. The refined architectural design of this 19th century Swedish Empire style chest with secretary will allow it to work seamlessly within traditional and contemporary settings alike.
