Swedish 19th Century Black Painted Pine Secretary Desk, circa 1830–1840

A classic Swedish secretary desk dating to circa 1830–1840, crafted from pine and finished in black with a beautifully aged surface. The fall front and drawer fronts are defined by subtle molded borders, giving the restrained design added architectural detail.
Opening the fall front reveals a richly patinated dark blue interior fitted with seven small drawers with wooden knobs and a central enclosed compartment. Two pull-out wooden supports secure the writing surface when open, creating a generous and practical workspace.
Below the writing compartment are spacious drawers retaining their original locks, accompanied by one key. Brass hardware accents the exterior, while the smaller upper drawer is fitted with brass knobs. The secretary rests on sturdy, simple legs and retains the understated proportions characteristic of Swedish country furniture of the period.
The contrast between the black exterior and deeply patinated blue interior gives this early 19th-century piece considerable character while preserving its practical function.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
