Art Deco Secretary Desk by Skandia — Drop Front, Rounded Drawers
An elegant Art Deco-style drop-front secretary desk by Skandia Furniture, featuring a streamlined silhouette with pronounced rounded drawer fronts and a warm teak finish. Combining Deco curves with functional modernism, this solid wood and veneer piece includes three deep tongue-and-groove drawers with stylized wood-and-brass pulls, all echoing classic 1930s–40s design elements.
The hinged writing panel opens to reveal a highly compartmentalized interior: two small drawers (1 5/8"), a central 6" x 6.5" cabinet, and seven additional pigeonholes—ideal for correspondence, small accessories, or display. Includes original key and locking mechanism.
Produced by Skandia of Rockford, Illinois, a manufacturer known for fine craftsmanship through the early 20th century, this piece likely dates to the late Art Deco transitional era, around the 1940s to early 1950s.
