A refined Gustavian chest of drawers from Sweden, dating to around 1790. Crafted in walnut and finished in a deep black paint with traces of its original patina, the piece exudes timeless elegance.
The chest features four drawers, the central one retaining its original lock and key. Interiors are lined with shellac, while the surface is finished with a protective wax polish. Original gilt-bronze fittings provide a striking contrast against the dark finish.
With gently serpentine drawer fronts, rounded sides and bun feet, this chest embodies the Gustavian balance of classical influence and Swedish restraint. Carefully restored, it remains both functional and decorative.
