About the Item

Elegant pair of Gustavian-style breakfront commodes from Sweden, circa 1840–1860. Each is painted in a light blue tone with a charming patina. Below the top runs a finely carved à la grec frieze. The corpus has three drawers — the upper decorated with a pair of carved sphinxes, and the two lower drawers featuring a distinctive breakfront design. Standing on tapered, fluted legs, these commodes exemplify the refined neoclassical elegance of the Gustavian period. Sweden circa 1840–1860.
