Danish Kjærnulf/Baroque style Oak Secretary Bureau, Slant Front Desk

About the Item

This Danish oak secretary bureau is in the style of Henning Kjærnulf, crafted in the 1960s, it is a true masterpiece that effortlessly blends Brutalist Baroque charm with midcentury modern elegance. Its robust, solid oak body exudes strength and history, while the brass handles add a striking contrast, gleaming against the light, softly weathered wood. Time has only enhanced its charisma, with subtle imperfections serving as beautiful marks of its journey. The graceful legs and intricate wood carvings whisper of Baroque inspiration, while the compact size makes it a perfect fit for both classic and contemporary interiors. The slant-front desk, complete with hidden support arms and a functioning key, invites you to rediscover the art of writing. Functional yet decorative, this bureau offers ample storage and glides effortlessly, promising to elevate any workspace or living room with its timeless presence. The strong, solid feet give this piece a grounded, steadfast presence, exuding an energy that says it will stand firm even if the sky falls. Their beautifully rounded shape harmonizes perfectly with the gentle curves of the drawers, a design element that becomes especially striking when viewed from the side or at an angle. There is a minor imperfection on the tabletop, which adds to its character—please refer to the close-up photos for details. The height to the top of the fold-down desk is 73.5 cm (28.9"), with a width of 88 cm (34.6") and a depth of 48 cm (18.9")
