About the Item
A Swedish Gustavian style three-drawer chest from the 19th century, with marbleized top, gray painted finish, reeded panels and fluted side posts. This 19th-century Swedish Gustavian style three-drawer chest beautifully captures the essence of traditional Scandinavian design. The chest boasts a subtle yet sophisticated marbleized top, seamlessly blending with the very light Gustavian gray painted finish, a color known for its calming and elegant qualities.
The chest's reeded panels are a standout feature. They are interrupted in the center, creating a medallion effect that elegantly frames the escutcheons, adding a touch of classic refinement. Underneath the marbleized top is a row of carved dentil molding, providing a delicate textural contrast and enhancing the chest's visual appeal.
The rectangular top with canted corners in the front adds a gentle, inviting quality to its appearance. The fluted side posts complement the reeded drawers, creating a harmonious balance between the elements of design.
Raised on short, tapered feet that are angled in the front, the chest has a sturdy yet graceful stance. This feature ensures that the chest maintains a sense of elegance despite its robust form.
In a modern home, this Gustavian style chest could serve as a charming and functional addition to a bedroom, living room, or hallway. It could be used traditionally for clothing storage or repurposed to hold linens, tableware, or as a stylish console in an entryway. The chest's timeless design and high-quality craftsmanship make it a versatile piece that can complement various interior styles, adding a touch of 19th-century Swedish charm and sophistication to any space.

- Swedish Gustavian Style 1880s Three-Drawer Painted Chest with Carved DécorLocated in Atlanta, GAA Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chest of drawers from the late 19th century, with swag frieze, carved side posts and tapered feet. Created in Sweden during the last quarter of the 19th century, this painted chest showcases the stylistic characteristics of the Gustavian era. The chest features a rectangular top adorned with delicate carved swags on the edges. The façade is made of three graduated drawers, fitted with Classical style hardware. Their dovetail construction reveals the piece's age. The side posts are adorned with carved falling campanulas at the top and fluted motifs at the bottom. Resting on short tapered feet, the chest is painted in a soft grey color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the long and dark Scandinavian winter. The Gustavian style takes its roots in the Louis XVI era. Swedish King Gustav III resided in 1771 in Paris, at the beginning stages of the Louis XVI style. There, he was inspired by French art and fashion. With that in his luggage, he had a strong desire to introduce something similar in Sweden. The country had fine craftsmen with high quality craftsmanship, who produced a simple style with harmonious aesthetics. The Gustavian style was born and has been in vogue ever since. It is incredibly popular, especially in England but also in France and in the USA. Price and age are of course inextricably linked, the older and rarer, the higher the price! With its clean lines and subtly carved décor...Category
