Swedish Rococo Period 1790s Cabinet with Chapeau de Gendarme Inspired Cornice
-
Description
A Swedish Rococo cabinet from circa 1790 with doors and drawers. This exquisite Swedish Rococo cabinet from circa 1790 features a harmonious blend of light European oak and burl walnut. The cabinet's upper section is crowned with a chapeau de gendarme-inspired cornice, which gracefully curves above two beautifully crafted doors. These doors open to reveal inner shelves and discreet hidden drawers, providing ample storage while maintaining a refined appearance.
The lower section showcases four drawers arranged in a practical and aesthetically pleasing manner: two smaller drawers sit above two larger ones. Each drawer is fitted with delicate Rococo-style hardware, adding an ornate touch to the cabinet's otherwise understated elegance. The drawers are designed to offer convenient storage space for a variety of items, from linens and tableware to personal treasures.
The cabinet rests on a subtly carved skirt, which adds a touch of sophistication to its base. The dimensions of the cabinet itself are 58 inches wide by 21 inches deep by 86 inches high, while the cornice extends slightly further, measuring 60.5 inches wide by 23 inches deep. This gentle expansion emphasizes the piece's Rococo flair, lending it an air of grandeur without overwhelming its delicate design.
With its rich mixture of materials and intricate detailing, this Swedish Rococo cabinet is a timeless piece that would enhance any room, from a formal dining area to a sophisticated living room. The combination of woods, along with its elegant hardware and fine craftsmanship, makes this cabinet not only a functional storage solution but also a beautiful statement piece that speaks to the elegance and refinement of 18th-century Swedish design. - More Information
