Swedish Gustavian Style Chest of Drawers in Two Shades of Grey, Circa 1880

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
Elegant Gustavian-style chest of drawers crafted in Sweden circa 1880. The piece is made of solid pine wood and finished in two harmonious tones of grey, creating a soft contrast that highlights its architectural form. Each of the three drawers features decorative molded panels, a hallmark of the Gustavian aesthetic, inspired by the neoclassical designs favored in 18th-century Sweden. The light grey panels subtly stand out against the deeper frame, emphasizing balance and proportion. Brass ring handles and a working lock, with key included, add a refined touch of authenticity. Triple-milled moldings on each side and gently tapered legs complete the silhouette, giving the piece its timeless poise. Understated yet sophisticated, this chest captures the essence of Gustavian restraint—calm, elegant, and beautifully suited to both classic and contemporary interiors. A serene example of Swedish craftsmanship from the late 19th century.

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!
