Mid-19th-century Danish Biedermeier secretary or "bureau" crafted in birch with a beautifully figured veneer. The upper cabinet features concave and convex doors, while the roll-top center desk opens to reveal traditional small drawers and sliding storage designed for paperwork. A central leather writing surface(note scuffing) lifts and can be adjusted for use.
Below the desktop are three large traditional drawers providing ample storage. The piece displays classic proportions, accented by subtle scrollwork along the upper crown. Age-related cracks, scuffs, scratches, and minor losses are visible throughout, with earlier repairs completed along the base and veneer.
A minimum of three keys are included; all locks no longer function and keys are used as pulls only. Restored, strong, stable, and ready for use, this bureau showcases refined Danish craftsmanship and elegant Biedermeier styling.
