About the Item

A beautifully detailed Swedish chest of drawers in the Gustavian style, dating to circa 1880. This elegant piece is painted in a soft sand tone with a lightly distressed patina, enhancing its neoclassical lines and timeless appeal. The chest stands on tapered legs and features three full-length drawers, each decorated with raised diamond paneling and fitted with round brass escutcheons and pulls. The front corners are fluted with delicate milling, adding depth and texture to the facade. A carved tooth-strip molding runs beneath the grey-painted top, which offers a subtle contrast and elevates the piece’s architectural charm. The combination of restrained ornamentation, balanced proportions, and soft palette make it ideal for a variety of interiors, from traditional to contemporary. Whether placed in a bedroom, hallway, or living space, this chest embodies the refined elegance of 19th-century Swedish craftsmanship.
