Gustavian Style Chest of Drawers in Black with Brass Hardware and Carved Details
-
Description
An elegant Gustavian-style chest of drawers, painted in matte black with a gently worn patina that enhances its architectural details. Crafted from a mix of oak, oak veneer, and pine, this early 20th-century piece features a symmetrical arrangement of drawers with a distinctive breakfront form, adding sculptural depth to the façade. Each drawer is accented with refined brass handles and working locks; one key is included. Subtle carved embellishments adorn the upper side panels, adding neoclassical charm without overwhelming the design.
The chamfered corners transition gracefully into tapered legs, which narrow elegantly at the base and ground the piece with quiet sophistication. The clean lines and understated decoration make this chest highly versatile, well-suited for both traditional and contemporary interiors. Perfect for use in a bedroom, hallway, or office, this chest offers ample storage and timeless style rooted in Swedish craftsmanship.
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! -
