Pair of Swedish Gustavian Style 1870s Painted Chests with Two Fluted Drawers

About the Item

A pair of Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chests from circa 1870 with two fluted drawers, fluted side posts, tapered legs and classical hardware. This exquisite pair of Swedish Gustavian style chests, dating back to circa 1870, exude a timeless elegance with their classic painted charcoal black finish with some wood showing on the edges. Each chest boasts two fluted drawers, adding a textural element that is both visually appealing and indicative of the period's design sensibilities. The fluted side posts contribute to the chests’ stately appearance, while the tapered legs, presenting a subtle angle in the front, ensure stability and grace. Adorning the chests, classical hardware complements the sophisticated aesthetic, offering a subtle contrast against the deep black paint. The carved dentil molding situated just beneath the top adds a final touch of refinement, enhancing the overall craftsmanship. In a contemporary home, these chests could serve as distinguished bedside tables, or as functional yet decorative storage in a living room or entryway. The black finish allows for versatile integration into various color schemes, and their historical provenance adds a layer of cultural richness to any interior design. Envision these chests as statement pieces that not only offer practical storage solutions but also act as a nod to Swedish design heritage, perfect for the discerning decorator aiming for a blend of functionality and classical charm.
