About the Item

A beautifully proportioned Swedish chest of drawers from around 1860, featuring its original carved details and a soft blue painted finish with a delicately aged patina. The clean neoclassical silhouette, with three full-length drawers, gently molded edges, and elegant tapered legs, speaks to the enduring appeal of mid-19th-century Scandinavian design. The drawer fronts are fitted with later brass ring pulls and traditional key escutcheons, understated yet refined. The soft wash of blue paint is weathered in all the right places, offering a sense of history and quiet romance. Crafted from pine, this piece embodies the balance of form and function typical of Swedish country furniture of the period. Elegant yet grounded, this chest brings a calming presence to bedrooms, entryways, or any space that calls for timeless beauty with a whisper of Nordic soul.
