Original Painted Pine Secretary Bureau from Sweden, dated 1847

  

This unusual secretary is a special find. The remarkable folk art painted finish is all original, with a traditional faux wood motif in brown and brick red trimmed in a carved and painted leaf motif around the top.

The interior desk is painted green and holds 20 drawers with central cubbie and the drop down desk top. A monogram and date of 1847 is seen along the front when closed. Please enlarge photos to appreciate the craftsmanship and paint technique used to create this special bureau. This entire folk art secretary has been restored and waxed so it is strong, stable and ready to be used. All nicks, scratches (seen throughout), dings, signs of wear and distress are all expected age related and do not detract from the function nor beauty of this exceptional piece.

Floor to Desk Height: 30.
