About the Item

A Swedish late Gustavian painted wood bedside table from the early 19th century, with two reeded drawers, double doors and three quarter gallery. Created in Sweden during the first quarter of the 19th century, this bedside table showcases the stylistic characteristics of the Gustavian era. The piece features a rectangular top surrounded by a stepped three-quarter gallery. The façade presents two carved reeded drawers, anchoring a pair of double doors. They open thanks to a petite lock to reveal a small storage compartment. The ensemble, raised on four tapered legs, is painted in a soft color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the long and dark winters of Scandinavia. 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, this Swedish late Gustavian period painted nightstand table circa 1820 will make for a wonderful addition to any bedroom or living room!
