A midcentury Swedish elm desk by Torsviks Sågverks AB, Härnösand, 1930s–1940s.
The front is arranged with a cupboard, a central lockable drawer and an open shelf to one side, while the reverse is fully finished, allowing the piece to sit comfortably within a room. To the rear, a cabinet with internal shelving sits alongside an open bookcase section, providing practical storage for files and everyday items.
The construction is clean and functional, with simple sides, discreet joinery and short, tapered feet that lift the form slightly from the floor. The cupboards are fitted with a white circular handle and key escutcheons. The proportions make it well-suited to use as a desk or dressing table, combining storage and workspace in a single, considered design.
Sourced in Sweden.

Condition:
