  • Original Vintage Mid-century Danish Burmese teak writing bureau / secretaire, Denmark circa 1960's

     

    This timeless Danish secretaire has three lower graduating drawers each with two curling handles, top drawer with lock, but no key, and three small organising drawers in the upper portion accompanied by an open shelf situated to the right. Below this, there is a retractable writing surface that slides out, doubling as a desk, all supported by four elegantly tapering cylindrical legs.

     

    Renowned for its versatility, this secretary stands as one of the most adaptable pieces in the annals of Scandinavian design. Its capacity to serve as a chest of drawers makes it a superb filing cabinet or storage unit, and it can seamlessly transition into a linen wardrobe in a bedroom setting. The pull-out top transforms it into a functional desk, while its timeless design imparts character to any interior fortunate enough to house it.

    Crafted in Denmark during the 1960s, this bureau exhibits a beautiful teak grain, complemented by a rich, warm colour throughout.

     

    Dimensions: 97cm high, 84cm wide, 42cm deep

     

    Condition: Remarkably well-preserved given its age, displaying only subtle indications of wear — please refer to the photos for a closer look. It has undergone a careful restoration and refinishing process using high-quality materials, where needed.
