Pair of Scandinavian Painted Chests with Carved Details, circa 1920
-
Description
A graceful pair of Scandinavian chests of drawers dating to circa 1920, showcasing classic neoclassical inspiration with beautifully carved detailing. Each chest features three drawers adorned with concentric circle carvings at the center, flanked by original brass ring pulls and escutcheons. The drawer fronts are framed by simple molded borders, while the upper edge is trimmed with finely carved dentil molding that adds architectural elegance. Fluted corner posts and tapered legs with carved block feet provide structural symmetry and visual lift.
Finished in a soft antique white paint with a lightly distressed surface, the chests offer a timeworn patina that highlights the carved ornamentation and the natural beauty of the wood beneath. Crafted from pine and likely originating from Sweden or Denmark, this pair is ideal as nightstands, bedside cabinets, or accent pieces in a refined interior. Their classical proportions and carved charm blend seamlessly into both traditional and transitional spaces.
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! -
