Gustavian Period 1800s Swedish Dove Grey Painted Three-Drawer Chest
About the Item
A Swedish Gustavian period light dove grey painted chest from circa 1800 with three dovetail drawers, canted side posts and fluted tapering feet. Evoking the serene elegance of the Swedish Gustavian period, this dove grey painted chest, circa 1800, embodies the essence of Scandinavian design. Bathed in a delicate light dove grey hue, subtle distressing in the paint hints at its storied past, blending antique charm with enduring craftsmanship.
Its design showcases three skillfully dovetailed drawers, adorned with brass hardware that contrasts softly against the muted backdrop. The chest's structure, both refined and robust, features canted side posts and a rectangular top with subtly protruding corners—characteristics reminiscent of the era's classic aesthetics. The pièce de résistance is the chest's fluted tapering feet, which angle gracefully at the front, grounding the piece with an understated sophistication.
Perfect as a bedroom centerpiece to house treasured keepsakes or in a living space for an infusion of historical allure, this Gustavian chest is more than a storage solution—it's a conversation starter. In modern homes, it seamlessly bridges the gap between time-honored tradition and contemporary tastes.

- Swedish Gustavian Style 1880s Three-Drawer Painted Chest with Carved DécorLocated in Atlanta, GAA Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chest of drawers from the late 19th century, with swag frieze, carved side posts and tapered feet. Created in Sweden during the last quarter of the 19th century, this painted chest showcases the stylistic characteristics of the Gustavian era. The chest features a rectangular top adorned with delicate carved swags on the edges. The façade is made of three graduated drawers, fitted with Classical style hardware. Their dovetail construction reveals the piece's age. The side posts are adorned with carved falling campanulas at the top and fluted motifs at the bottom. Resting on short tapered feet, the chest is painted in a soft grey color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the long and dark Scandinavian winter. The Gustavian style takes its roots in the Louis XVI era. Swedish King Gustav III resided in 1771 in Paris, at the beginning stages of the Louis XVI style. There, he was inspired by French art and fashion. With that in his luggage, he had a strong desire to introduce something similar in Sweden. The country had fine craftsmen with high quality craftsmanship, who produced a simple style with harmonious aesthetics. The Gustavian style was born and has been in vogue ever since. It is incredibly popular, especially in England but also in France and in the USA. Price and age are of course inextricably linked, the older and rarer, the higher the price! With its clean lines and subtly carved décor...Category
