Yellow Painted Oak Secretary, Denmark circa 1760-80

About the Item

This oak secretary reflects the grace and class of European styling in the early 1800's with four serpentine drawers and curved skirt. The traditional interior with 12 small drawers and central storage area offers the perfect space to organize. This secretary was later professionally painted with an exceptional yellow/mustard layered painted exterior complimented by a gray interior, updating the look while adding to the classic Danish rococo style. Restored, all drawers function, desk top is solid and ready to be used and enjoyed. Enlarge photos to appreciate the layered painted finish distressed perfectly to fit the age of this attractive bureau. Any cracks, scratches, separations (including drawer bottoms) are commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this oak secretary desk. Open Depth: 37" Floor to Desk Height: 32" Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details of this beautiful set; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting may all impact how item is viewed.
