About the Item

A decorative Gustavian style chest of drawers with canted fluted sides raised on tapered fluted feet. Three drawers decorated with "à La Grecque" or Greek key motif with two brass pulls on bottom drawers, key used as pull for top drawer (which has a divided interior). Restored, later professionally painted in layered shades of blue with notes of seafoam, teal and mottled white, all lightly distressed to fit the age and grace of this lovely chest. All scratches, cracks (see top), dings, and age related separation are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty nor function of this chest of three drawers. Some repairs/signs of older restoration; newer sides of drawers in pine while other sections in oak, etc. Use of mixed woods often seen. Please refer to professional photos for clear understanding of color, condition, and details; photo lighting, individual monitor display and home lighting all impact how item is viewed.
