Swedish Gustavian 1790s Painted Slant-Front Desk with Carved Diamond Motifs
-
Description
A Swedish Gustavian period slant front desk from the late 18th century, with carved diamond motifs, multiple drawers, original lock and key. Created in Sweden during the last decade of the 18th century, this fine painted secretary features a slanted front, carved with diamond motifs and opening to reveal multiple drawers and compartments surrounding a central door. Two pull-outs below can be used to receive the writing area once open. The lower section presents three drawers all fitted with Classical hardware and flanked with thin canted semi-columns adorned with fluted accents. The secretary is painted in a soft color with slightly distressed finish, typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the dark Scandinavian winters. The ensemble is raised on unusual bracket feet with fluted motifs.
