About the Item
A Danish wooden chest from circa 1880 with light painted finish, serpentine front and four graduated drawers. This Danish wooden chest, dating back to around 1880, is a captivating blend of classical elegance and rustic charm. Its most distinctive feature is its light painted finish, which presents a captivating mottled pattern, a harmonious mix of off-white and light to medium grays. This unique finish imparts a sense of timeless beauty and character.
The chest's serpentine front is a graceful touch, adding a subtle element of sophistication to its design. Its four graduated drawers are adorned with Classical brass hardware, exuding a sense of refinement and vintage allure.
One can't help but notice the wraparound bracket feet in the front, which not only contribute to the chest's overall stability but also enhance its aesthetic appeal. These feet provide a sense of continuity and balance to the piece's design.
Practically speaking, this Danish chest offers ample storage space. The four drawers provide an organized solution for stowing away clothing, linens, or any items you desire. The graduated design adds visual interest and ensures that each drawer is easily accessible.

- 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
