About the Item

This elegant 19th-century Swedish chest of drawers, circa 1840, reflects the simplicity and charm characteristic of Gustavian style furniture. The chest is crafted from solid wood and features a beautiful light, distressed painted finish, typical of the soft, muted palettes popular in Swedish interiors of the time. The chest comprises three spacious drawers, each adorned with finely carved linear patterns in a subtle diamond shape, giving the front a refined geometric appeal. Each drawer is fitted with simple round metal key escutcheons and pulls, adding a touch of understated functionality while keeping with the clean, minimalist design. Resting on gently tapered feet, this chest maintains a balanced and harmonious proportion. The rectangular top offers a smooth surface, slightly overhanging the body of the piece, which complements its clean lines and modest decorative features. This chest is an excellent example of Swedish craftsmanship from the early 19th century, combining utility with the graceful, understated elegance that defines the Gustavian style. It would make a perfect addition to any interior looking for a touch of historical Scandinavian charm and practicality.

19th Century Biedermeier Chest of Drawers Nutwood, Austria, circa 1840

Outstanding 19th century chest of drawers from the famous Biedermeier period in Vienna/ Austria around 1840.
