About the Item

A decorative Gustavian style pine chest of drawers with dramatic painted "à La Grecque" or Greek key motif and mythical griffin on top drawer, raised on tapered feet. Restored, later professional painted in layered black finish with contrasting gray, distressed to fit the age of this handsome chest of three drawers. All scratches(throughout), cracks (see top, sides etc.), nicks (see middle drawer), and age related separation (often in drawer bottoms) are commensurate with age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this lovely dresser.
