Information

This rare bureau was designed by Tage Lindgren and produced in Sweden in 1954. It exemplifies the refined craftsmanship and material excellence typical of Scandinavian mid-century design. The inclusion of the original drawings adds further historical significance to the piece.

Constructed from rosewood, a prized hardwood noted for its deep color variations and striking grain patterns, the bureau’s front features a series of drawers. The top row is adorned with marquetry inlays depicting traditional woodworking tools, paying homage to the artisanal craftsmanship behind the piece. Brass handles provide a subtle contrast to the warm wood tones, enhancing the overall elegance.

The top surface displays a geometric marquetry pattern composed of precisely arranged wood veneers, creating a visually captivating effect. The bureau stands on tapered legs that lend it a light, graceful stance while ensuring stability. Decorative inlay details also appear on the side panels, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail in its construction.

Tage Lindgren was a Swedish designer renowned for his sophisticated use of materials and decorative inlays. His work often merges traditional craftsmanship with the functional and aesthetic ideals of Scandinavian modernism. This bureau embodies a high level of artistry, serving not only as a practical storage piece but also as a collector’s item.

The bureau measures 90 cm in width, 48 cm in depth, and 77.5 cm in height (approximately 35.4 by 18.9 by 30.5 inches).
