Black Painted Rococo Secretary from Denmark circa 1760-1800

About the Item

This pine rococo secretary reflects the grace and class of Swedish styling in the early 1800's. The dramatic serpentine drawers with curvaceous front and carved skirt resting on cabriolet feet all add a romantic touch. The traditional interior with 12 unique, small curved drawers and central “cubbie” offers perfect space to organize. Large heavy wrought iron handles on each side assist with moving and placement. Later professionally custom painted with an exceptional black painted exterior complimented by a soft blue interior, updating the look while adding to the classic Swedish styling. Fully restored, all drawers function, desk top is solid and ready to be used and enjoyed. A single large key is included to use to lock and open the desk top.
