A Swedish commode in black paint, 19th century, with three drawers beneath a top edged in crisply carved gadrooned molding, an unusual refinement that lifts the piece well above the ordinary. Oval brass pulls punctuate the drawer fronts, and the case rises on neat tapered feet in the Gustavian taste. The black painted surface has worn softly at the edges and high points, giving the commode the graphic, time-mellowed presence that makes dark Swedish case pieces so effective against pale walls. It offers real storage in a bedroom, entrance hall, or living room, reading as quietly sculptural rather than heavy. The drawers run properly, with wear consistent with age and use.
