Made in Sweden around 1790, this Gustavian nightstand shows the restrained neoclassical character of the style. The Gustavian style, the Swedish interpretation of neoclassicism, is expressed in the measured proportions and form of the nightstand. As a nightstand, the piece provides a small surface and, typically, storage, suited to use beside a bed or seating. The timber or painted surface carries the patina valued in Swedish period furniture. Suited to a bedroom or sitting room, the nightstand offers a compact surface for a lamp, books, or objects, with storage close at hand. Its eighteenth-century date gives it period character. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the nightstand combines a practical surface with the calm, decorative quality of Gustavian furniture. As an eighteenth-century Gustavian nightstand, it offers function and Swedish period character in a compact form, working as a bedside or occasional table.
