Painted Desk
This 1850s desk was painted to celebrate a daughter’s marriage. They didn’t like it because it was too primitive, so it stayed in their barn and was never used.
Sometime before 1962, the desk came to the U.S. to an antique shop. The antique shop donated the desk to Gammelgården when they closed the shop in 2004.
