19TH CENTURY SWEDISH GUSTAVIAN PAINTED ENFILADE
-
Description
A remarkable Gustavian painted buffet, made in Sweden, towards the middle of the 19th century. Painted a spectacular gray/ivory-white, time has afforded the finish a patina that is simply stunning. Wonderful carved details also grace the buffet. The top is trimmed in a dentil moulding, while three large, ribbed diamonds have been carved into the front door panels. The piece has three lockable doors. They conceal three separate interiors, each with fixed shelving and all painted an extraordinary blue color. Fluted pilaster columns space the doors. Gustavian antiques are beloved for their airy feel. That, with the warm, light paint finish give the antique an easy and comforting aura, circa 1860.
