19th Century Swedish Chest of Drawers Circa 1880

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This 19th-century Swedish chest of drawers, circa 1880, is a refined example of Gustavian design, embodying the understated elegance and practicality characteristic of Scandinavian craftsmanship. Constructed from pine, a wood favored for its lightweight durability and adaptability, the chest features a soft, distressed painted finish in a muted tone, a hallmark of Gustavian furniture that enhances light and creates an airy aesthetic.

The front showcases three spacious drawers with fluted detailing, adding texture and depth to its clean lines, while the fluted corners further emphasize the neoclassical influence of the Gustavian style. The drawers are adorned with elegant round brass pulls, providing subtle yet refined accents. Resting on tapered legs, the chest achieves a light and balanced appearance, making it suitable for various interiors.

Perfect for a bedroom, hallway, or living space, this versatile piece blends functionality with timeless design, offering ample storage while adding sophistication to any home.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
