Description

A beautifully made and very stylish Swedish Art Deco desk in satin birch, dating from the 1930’s.

This is of superb quality with an elegant design, it is a very useful size. It is wide and has a generous knee hole space, it is not too deep from front to back, so is not too imposing. The satin birch has a gorgeous colour and beautiful grain patterns, the drawers have lovely cream Bakelite handles. The back is nicely finished, so this can be used as a free standing item.

We have had this stripped and re-polished to a very high standard, the condition is superb for its age.

FAQs

Swedish Art Deco, which gained prominence during the 1920s and 1930s, combines classical restraint with streamlined modernism, often favouring lighter woods such as birch over the darker timbers common in French or American pieces.

These pieces typically utilise native Scandinavian timbers like birch, often featuring book-matched veneers over sturdy softwood or hardwood cores, paired with distinctive contrasting handles made from bone, brass, or dark wood.

Authentic items feature period-correct joinery, natural timber patination, traditional shellac or wax finishes, and structural characteristics consistent with European workshop production from the interwar period.

This type of furniture serves as a refined focal point in a contemporary study or living room, pairing well with minimalist seating, neutral walls, and metallic accents that complement the warm grain of the wood.

Maintain the timber by keeping it away from direct sunlight and heat sources, dusting regularly with a soft, dry cloth, and occasionally applying a high-quality furniture wax to nourish the grain.
