About the Item

19th Century Swedish Style Painted Shopkeeper's Slanted Front Writing Desk commonly used by merchants in the 1800s. Desk features a hinged front panel that opens to reveal compartments for writing supplies, receipts, or other business essentials. The front of desk can be propped open, providing a writing space. The design reflects the practical needs of the shopkeeper who needed a functional, organized workspace for managing transactions and inventories. Desk is made of solid wood featuring simple utilitarian forms, with decorative elements including a curved top of back and curved and tapered legs. The later painted finish is worn to a wonderful old worn patina. In modern times, desk can be used in any room as both a functional and decorative piece.
