Description

This 19th century Swedish Biedermeier secretaire chest of drawers, circa 1850, is a fine example of the Karl Johan period. Veneered in striking tiger birch cut to highlight the grain, it offers a drop-down writing surface above fitted drawers and a central lockable tabernacle, all raised on block feet. Hand re-polished in our workshop to a rich golden colour, it shows only minor surface marks in line with age and use.
