Gustavian Style Painted Chest of Drawers with Brass Handles
-
Description
This Gustavian-style chest of drawers is a refined example of Swedish neoclassical design, crafted in pine and finished in a soft gray paint that enhances its timeless appeal. The chest features a broken-front profile, adding depth and architectural interest to its otherwise restrained silhouette. A decorative dentil molding runs beneath the top, while the chamfered corners are accented with carved vertical details, lending a subtle elegance. Brass ring pulls and escutcheons provide a classical contrast against the pale surface, with one working key included. Raised on tapered legs, the chest is both sturdy and graceful, offering three spacious drawers for storage. With its understated decoration, balanced proportions, and quiet color palette, this piece embodies the Gustavian tradition of combining function with refined simplicity.
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! -
