About the Item

A rare and beautifully patinated Gustavian-style chest of drawers, crafted in Sweden around 1920. This three-drawer chest stands on tapered legs and features classic neoclassical detailing, including carved fluting and molding along the edges. The standout feature is its stunning blue painted finish, worn and weathered to perfection, revealing soft undertones and natural wood peeking through. The original rich color adds bold character while maintaining a sense of age and refinement. Each drawer is fitted with round brass escutcheons and pulls, offering both function and contrast against the distressed paint. The dentil-carved cornice and chamfered corners lend subtle architectural presence, elevating the simple form into something truly elegant. A striking accent piece for entryways, bedrooms, or eclectic interiors seeking a splash of historic charm and personality. This piece blends the timeless appeal of Swedish Gustavian design with a color rarely found in period furniture.
