Swedish Gustavian Painted Chest of Drawers with Decorative Livery, Circa 1840

This refined Swedish Gustavian chest of drawers, dating to around 1840, showcases the graceful neoclassical lines and painted detailing characteristic of the period. The piece features a subtly curved front with four spacious drawers, each fitted with original round brass pulls and escutcheons. A striking Greek key frieze in gold and soft cream tones adorns the top drawer, lending a touch of classical ornamentation to the restrained form. The top surface is beautifully faux-painted to mimic marble, a technique widely used in 19th-century Sweden to achieve an elegant look while preserving lightness and practicality. Finished in a softly patinated pale tone, the chest exudes understated sophistication and timeless appeal. Its harmonious proportions and decorative detailing make it a versatile piece, equally at home in a traditional or contemporary setting. Perfect for bedrooms, entryways, or living spaces, this chest embodies the craftsmanship and subtle luxury of Gustavian design.
