Swedish Gustavian Style 1880s Painted Cabinet with Carved Diamond and Rosettes
-
Description
A Swedish Gustavian style painted wood cabinet from the late 19th century, with single door, carved rosettes, diamond motifs and dentil molding. Created in Sweden during the last quarter of the 19th century, this painted cabinet features a rectangular top sitting above a discreet carved dentil molding. The façade showcases a single door, adorned with a carved diamond motif surrounded by four rosettes in the corners and a beaded molding. This door opens to reveal inner shelves and a hidden drawer. The sides are plain and the back is, of course, unfinished. Raised on four tapered legs, the cabinet is painted in a soft color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes, aiming at brightening the rooms during the dark and long winters of Scandinavia.
