About the Item
A Swedish Gustavian period grey painted drop-front secretary from circa 1780 with multiple inner drawers and four drawers on the façade. Discover the sublime craftsmanship of this Swedish Gustavian period drop-front secretary, circa 1780. Clothed in a subtle fusion of gray and beige, this timeless piece captures the essence of Scandinavian refinement.
