19th Century Swedish Folk Art Cabinet Circa 1810

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This 19th-century Swedish Folk Art cabinet, circa 1810, is an exquisite example of rustic craftsmanship blended with functional design. Made from solid wood, it features a beautifully distressed painted finish in a soft, muted hue typical of Swedish folk pieces, adding to its authentic patina and charm.
The cabinet is topped with a striking stepped cornice, creating a bold architectural element that enhances the visual impact of the piece. The upper portion is enclosed by two large paneled doors, showcasing clean lines and minimal ornamentation, consistent with the simple elegance of Swedish folk art. Upon opening, the interior reveals wooden shelves, perfect for storage or display, and a natural, time-worn surface that highlights the cabinet’s age and history.
Below the cabinet doors, there are three generously sized drawers, each fitted with understated round key escutcheons and pulls. These drawers provide additional storage and are framed by a slightly molded base resting on bracket feet, further adding to the cabinet’s sturdy yet graceful form.
The overall style is distinctly Gustavian with Folk Art influences, characterized by the restrained decoration and emphasis on functionality. This cabinet would be an ideal statement piece in both period settings and more contemporary interiors seeking to incorporate an antique touch with a sense of Scandinavian heritage.
