Swedish Chest of Drawers with Dentil Carving, Mid-19th Century
-
Description
A stately Swedish chest of drawers from the mid-1800s, blending neoclassical form with country charm. Crafted from pine and finished in a soft, chalky white paint with natural wear, this three-drawer commode features clean lines, subtle molding, and a beautifully carved dentil frieze just beneath the top, a quiet detail that adds refinement to its otherwise restrained silhouette.
The drawers glide smoothly and are fitted with original brass ring pulls and simple round escutcheons. Raised on tapered legs with a slight flare, the piece balances sturdiness with grace. The paint surface has been gently distressed over time, revealing the warmth of the pine beneath and lending the chest a soulful, timeworn texture.
Perfect for interiors that embrace history and light, this Swedish antique offers both utility and elegance, ideal for bedrooms, entryways, or any space in need of timeless serenity.
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! -
