Swedish Painted Chest of Drawers with Brass Hardware, circa 1860
-
Description
A handsome Swedish chest of drawers dating to approximately 1860, painted in a deep, subtly distressed black that enhances its classical form and rich texture. This chest features five spacious drawers, each adorned with original circular brass pulls and escutcheons, offering both elegance and utility.
The case has a gently rounded front, adding softness to the otherwise rectilinear silhouette. Carved corner posts and bracket feet ground the piece with quiet strength, while the wear and patina across the painted surface reflect its 19th-century origins. Crafted in solid pine, this chest embodies the practical refinement of Swedish craftsmanship, clean lines, quality materials, and timeless proportions. With generous storage and a versatile scale, this piece is ideal for use in a bedroom, entryway, or living space. It brings historical charm and a bold, moody palette that fits effortlessly in both traditional and modern interiors.
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! -
