Antique Pine Roll Top Desk Bureau from Sweden circa 1840

About the Item

Lovely pine roll top desk or bureau from Sweden from the 1800's. The age of this secretary is revealed in the warmth of the deep patina in the pine which only happens through generations of use. The roll top opens and the top "drawer" becomes the desk top writing surface. The interior reveals a multitude of drawers and cubbies for storage and organization. Note the intriguing slant of the two drawers that flank the central concave door that opens to two additional petite drawers inside. Open depth with desk in use:33.5" Restored and waxed, this pine roll top desk is ready to be used and enjoyed. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition and details.
