1790s Scandinavian Slant Front Desk with Carved Panel and Four Drawers

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A Scandinavian light/medium grey painted slant-front desk from circa 1790 with carved panel and four drawers. Emanating the quiet elegance of Scandinavian design, this circa 1790 light/medium grey painted slant-front desk is a remarkable fusion of form and function. The cool undertones of the grey paint provide a soothing background, allowing the desk's elegant details to take center stage.

Open the carved slanted panel to reveal a highly functional writing surface, complete with multiple inner drawers, perfect for organizing your writing instruments and documents. Below this concealed work surface, the façade is thoughtfully divided into two small drawers above two larger ones, offering a variety of storage options. Carved bracket feet lend an added flair, grounding the piece in historical context, while the lateral handles make for easy placement in any room.

With a desk height of 31 inches and a depth of 39.25 inches, it is perfectly sized to serve as the centerpiece in a home office or as a stately addition to a living room or study. This piece not only offers utility but also brings a piece of history into your modern home.
