Swedish Gustavian Style 1890s Apothecary Chest with 10 Drawers and Carved Dentil

A Swedish Gustavian style painted wood apothecary chest from the late 19th century, with carved dentil molding, 10 drawers, brass ring pull hardware and tapered feet. The chest features a rectangular top sitting above a carved dentil molding followed by a perfectly designed façade. 10 drawers, arranged in five rows and fitted with brass ring pulls, offer a perfect organization typical of apothecary chests. The sides are bare and the back is, of course, unfinished. Raised on four short tapered feet with fluted accents, the chest is painted in a soft color typical of the Scandinavian taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the dark Scandinavian winters. With its clean lines and perfect organization, this Swedish apothecary chest circa 1890 will make for a great addition to any home, perhaps displayed in a living room or bedroom.
