Swedish Painted Nightstand, circa Late 19th Century
-
Description
A Swedish painted nightstand from the second half of the 19th century, exuding rustic charm and Scandinavian simplicity. Crafted in pine, the piece features a rectangular top above a single narrow drawer fitted with a small round pull. Below, a paneled cabinet door opens to reveal interior storage, offering both functionality and discreet elegance. The body is raised on four long, slender tapered legs, lending the nightstand a light, graceful silhouette despite its sturdy construction. Retaining its original painted finish, now softly worn with a natural patina, the surface tells the story of time and use, enhancing the authenticity of the piece. Perfect beside a bed, sofa, or even as an accent in a hallway, this nightstand exemplifies the Gustavian-inspired Swedish tradition of balancing practicality with understated beauty. Its proportions and character make it a timeless choice for 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! -
