A Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chest from the early 20th century with three drawers, carved diamond motifs, fluted side posts, carved rosettes, and tapered feet. The rectangular top features protruding canted corners and rests above three drawers adorned with horizontal diamond motifs, each fitted with classical brass hardware and dovetail construction. The canted side posts are fluted and embellished with carved rosettes, while the chest stands on tapered feet angled at the front. Its soft color palette reflects the Swedish preference for light tones that brighten interiors during long, dark winters. His desire to introduce similar aesthetics to Sweden led to the development of this harmonious design, which remains popular in England, France, and the USA. With its clean lines and skillfully carved décor, this Swedish Gustavian style three-drawer chest from circa 1900 adds a touch of classical elegance to any bedroom or living room.
