The dramatic serpentine drawers and carved outer panel of the drop down desk add a romantic touch, accented by brass pulls and key escutcheon.
The traditional interior with 12 unique, small drawers and central “cubbie” with two petite drawers offers perfect space to organize.
Under the desk top is three standard large size drawers and upper narrow drawer, each has two brass pulls used to open drawer.
It was later professionally painted with an exceptional layered salmon/desert pink exterior complimented by a black interior, updating the look while adding to the classic Swedish styling.
Restored, drawers function, desk top is solid and ready to be used and enjoyed. Please enlarge photos to appreciate the fascinating painted finish distressed perfectly to fit the age and grace of this attractive oak secretary.
