A Swedish vitrine, circa 1800, in black paint, crowned by a dramatically shaped and molded cornice that gives the piece the architectural silhouette of the finest Scandinavian case furniture. Glazed doors with slender glazing bars enclose a pale shelved interior, displaying ceramics, glass, or books against the soft grey ground, while the two-door base provides concealed storage on shaped feet. The contrast of crisp black exterior and luminous interior is exactly what designers prize in painted Swedish furniture, striking enough to anchor a dining room, living room, or library single-handedly. Early vitrines with this quality of cornice are genuinely hard to find. Wear is consistent with age and use.
