Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A pair of Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chests from circa 1890 with three drawers, carved Greek Key frieze and diamond motif. Created in Sweden circa 1890, this exquisite pair of Gustavian style painted wood chests embodies the timeless elegance and refined craftsmanship of the period. Each chest features a soft light gray and cream painted finish, delicately distressed and revealing specks of the light-colored wood beneath, adding a charming patina and a sense of history.

The chests are adorned with a beautifully carved Greek Key frieze, adding a touch of classical sophistication. The three drawers on each chest are accented with slightly raised diamond motifs, one per drawer, creating a harmonious and balanced design. The canted side posts are elegantly fluted, enhancing the overall graceful silhouette.

Resting on short fluted tapering feet, angled in the front, these chests boast a sturdy yet refined stance. The rectangular tops, with their canted corners, further emphasize the chests' classical aesthetic. The classical brass hardware adds a touch of understated luxury, perfectly complementing the light, muted tones of the painted finish.

Ideal for adding a touch of Gustavian charm to any bedroom or living space, these chests offer both aesthetic beauty and practical storage. Their versatile design and neutral palette make them suitable for various interior styles, from traditional to contemporary.

With their harmonious blend of form and function, this pair of Swedish Gustavian style chests celebrates the enduring appeal of antique furniture. The intricate Greek Key frieze, diamond motifs, and elegant fluting ensure they will be cherished additions to any home, offering both elegance and utility.
