Swedish Gustavian Period 1800s Painted Corner Cabinet with Carved Foliage

Description
A Swedish Gustavian period painted wood two-part corner cabinet from the early 19th century, with reeded accents, foliage carving and open shelf. Created in Sweden during the Gustavian period in the early 19th century, this painted wood corner cabinet features two independent sections each presenting a bow front. The upper section is made of a molded cornice sitting above two doors with reeded panels, opening to reveal inner shelves offering convenient storage opportunities. In the center, an open shelf is flanked with blue painted and carved foliage that seems to be sprouting from delicate scrolls. The lower section, deeper in proportions, reprises the same décor on the doors, on a smaller scale. The cabinet is painted in a soft color typical of the Scandinavian taste for light palettes, accented by discreet blue outlines. Raised on four short turned feet in the front (there are no feet in the back), this Swedish Gustavian period painted wood corner cabinet circa 1800 will make for a lovely addition to any home, particularly placed in a living room, dining room or kitchen.
