Tall Blue Painted Swedish Secretary Bureau, circa 1800-20
About the Item
This striking oak secretary is an elegant statement piece crowned with an elaborate carved pediment.
The entire secretary has been given a professional custom layered blue painted finish which has been gently distressed to reveal the original oak underneath, adding both dimension and character to this bureau.
Please examine the photos to appreciate the beauty and texture of the lovely finish. The close up photos are the best representation of the overall color.
The middle section (with contrasting black painted interior) is the traditional desk which includes a multitude of petite drawers which are revealed when the desk work is opened. Key to interior petite door is used as pull only.
The upper section has 2 cabinet doors which opens to reveal a central shelf and four interior drawers. The upper small shelf originally served as a spoon rack for fine silver. The lock for upper exterior door still functions and original key is included.
The lower three drawers open using a skeleton key as a pull only (locks do not function).
This painted secretary is restored, solid/stable and ready to be used. It is built in two sections allowing for easier transportation and installation; original heavy brass handles at sides of base cabinet.
All scratches, cracks, dings, or age related separation are reflective of age/use and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this striking secretary.
Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed.
