Tall Blue Rococo Oak Chest of Four Drawers from Denmark, circa 1770-80

About the Item

Large antique oak rococo chest of four drawers with dramatic curves, handsome brass hardware pulls all resting on cabriolet feet. This tall commode has been given an exceptional new professional blue layered painted finish and has been lightly distressed, bringing out the natural oak below, fitting the age and grace of the dresser. Note the contrasting top painted in faux marble, a traditional style element of the era. This 4.5' tall chest has been restored, case is sturdy and drawers function with two large brass pulls on each drawer. Built in two sections. All cracks, dings, aged separation (typically drawer bottoms), are reflective of age and do not detract from the beauty of this large chest of drawers. Old repairs seen along back; some minor separation where drawers no longer fit tight or bottom center where chest sits on raised base.

The front corners of the case are boldly reeded and toward the top a sprig of lily of the valley is delicately carved inside the reed. Above this is a massive scrolled acanthus leaf corbel, appearing to support the top.
