Swedish Gustavian-Style Blue Chest of Drawers with Faux Marble Top, 1890-1899
-
Description
A refined Swedish Gustavian-style chest of drawers dating to circa 1890–1900. Crafted in pine, this piece is painted in a soft blue tone, consistent with late 19th-century Scandinavian interpretations of the Gustavian tradition. The top is decorated with a painted imitation marble surface, providing an elegant contrast and visual depth.
The chest features chamfered corners accented with negative milling, adding architectural definition to the case. Each of the three drawers is framed with delicate molded detailing that runs around the perimeter, enhancing the clean, neoclassical lines. The drawers are fitted with brass handles, and all original locks remain intact and functional; one key is included.
The piece stands on classic tapering legs, contributing to its light and balanced proportions. In good overall condition with age-appropriate wear, this chest offers both decorative appeal and practical storage, well suited for bedrooms, living spaces, or transitional interiors seeking authentic Swedish character.
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! -
