Swedish Secretary with Marquetry

About the Item

A masterpiece of symmetry, the cantilevered sides of the body meet the rectangular working surface, creating a setback for the upper writing surface. Crafted of Nordic birch and fir, the secretary features three deep drawers with unique inlaid pulls, with a fanciful array of marquetry adorning the face. The leather-lined writing surface provides ample workspace, with three additional drawers and nooks to stay organized! This is a very solid and serviceable "working desk" with strong pull-out supports for the working surface.
