Pair of Swedish Painted Chests of Drawers, Circa 1880
-
Description
This striking pair of Swedish chests of drawers, dating to circa 1880, showcases the timeless elegance and craftsmanship of late 19th-century Scandinavian design. Each chest features three spacious drawers with beautifully patinated, reeded fronts that add depth and texture to the clean, neoclassical silhouette. The deep, dark painted finish has developed a rich, timeworn surface over the years, highlighting the natural grain and lending a sophisticated, contemporary edge to the antique form. Original brass ring pulls and escutcheons punctuate the façade with subtle gleam, while tapered legs and fluted corner details reflect classical influences. Perfect as statement storage pieces in a bedroom, living room, or hallway, they offer a rare combination of functionality, historical character, and understated refinement. Versatile enough to complement both traditional and modern interiors, this pair embodies the enduring appeal of Swedish craftsmanship and design heritage.
