Pair of Swedish Neoclassical Painted Nightstands, circa 1880
-
Description
A charming pair of Swedish painted nightstands dating to circa 1880, showcasing the refined elegance of the Neoclassical style. Each piece features a rectangular top above a single drawer decorated with a Greek key motif, a timeless symbol of order and continuity. Below, a paneled cabinet door with vertical fluting opens to reveal interior storage, balancing practicality with decorative appeal. The cabinets stand on tapered legs with carved accents, giving them a light, graceful stance despite their solid construction. Their original painted finish, in a soft and weathered white, has aged into a patina that enhances their antique character and subtle charm. Perfectly matched as bedside tables or as versatile storage in a living room or entryway, this pair embodies both Swedish restraint and classical sophistication. They bring functionality, symmetry, and understated beauty into any setting, making them a rare and timeless find from the late 19th century.
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! -
