A Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chest from the mid 19th century, with Greek Key frieze, carved rosettes, fluted accents, and wraparound feet. Crafted in Sweden during the third quarter of the 19th century, this chest features a rectangular top with canted corners above an elegant apron carved with a Greek Key frieze. Its façade showcases three graduated drawers fitted with brass classical hardware, flanked by canted side posts adorned with fluted accents and carved rosettes. The chest is painted in a soft color with a nicely distressed patina, typical of the Swedish preference for light palettes to brighten interiors during dark winters. It rests on wraparound feet that complement the overall design. With its elegant lines and finely carved details, this Swedish Gustavian style three-drawer chest circa 1860 adds a touch of classical elegance to any space, making it ideal for a bedroom, living room, or foyer.
