A period gustavian wall cabinet with glossed doors scraped to original outside and inside paint

An authentic Gustavian period wall cabinet from Sweden, late 18th century, retaining its remarkable original surface and timeworn patina. The cabinet features a simple rectangular form with two glazed doors, each framed with wooden mullions that divide the glass into panels, creating a refined balance of proportion and symmetry. The paint has been carefully scraped back to its original layers both inside and out, revealing a soft, warm ochre tone with subtle variations that speak to centuries of age and use.
The interior provides practical storage while maintaining the cabinet’s understated neoclassical elegance, typical of the Gustavian era. With its versatile scale, this piece may be mounted on a wall or used as a countertop cabinet, ideal for displaying glassware, ceramics, or treasured collections.
Rare in both condition and authenticity, this wall cabinet captures the essence of Swedish Gustavian design—restrained, functional, and imbued with a quiet sense of history.
