Swedish Gustavian Style Painted Chest of Drawers, circa 1960

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
A charming small chest of drawers in the Gustavian style, crafted in Sweden circa 1960. Painted in a soft gray tone, the piece reflects the clean lines and refined elegance associated with Gustavian design. The façade features delicate horizontal reeded carving across all four drawers, adding subtle texture and depth. Each drawer is fitted with richly decorated brass handles and central escutcheons, bringing a touch of warmth and contrast to the cool painted surface. The chest stands on simple block feet, grounding its proportions while maintaining a restrained profile. While the front and frame maintain an antique character, the construction details—such as plywood used on the backs and bottoms of the drawers—reflect its mid-20th-century origin. Ideal for use as a bedside cabinet, accent chest, or storage in smaller spaces, this piece embodies timeless Scandinavian charm with a practical footprint, blending antique inspiration with mid-century 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!
