About the Item

A stately Swedish chest of drawers from the mid-1800s, blending neoclassical form with country charm. Crafted from pine and finished in a soft, chalky white paint with natural wear, this three-drawer commode features clean lines, subtle molding, and a beautifully carved dentil frieze just beneath the top, a quiet detail that adds refinement to its otherwise restrained silhouette. The drawers glide smoothly and are fitted with original brass ring pulls and simple round escutcheons. Raised on tapered legs with a slight flare, the piece balances sturdiness with grace. The paint surface has been gently distressed over time, revealing the warmth of the pine beneath and lending the chest a soulful, timeworn texture. Perfect for interiors that embrace history and light, this Swedish antique offers both utility and elegance, ideal for bedrooms, entryways, or any space in need of timeless serenity.
