Pair of Swedish Gustavian Breakfront Chests of Drawers, Circa 1840–1860

€5,111

A decorative pair of Swedish chests of drawers crafted in pine and executed in the Gustavian style. The softly weathered paintwork displays a delicate blend of celadon green and faded turquoise tones, while warm wood tones subtly emerge through the finish, adding richness, depth, and character to the overall appearance.

The shaped tops are adorned with a finely carved dentil frieze that follows the elegant outline of each piece. The chamfered corners are decorated with carved diamond motifs above fluted details, emphasizing the architectural character so typical of the Gustavian tradition.

The fronts are composed as a classic Gustavian breakfront design, with a subtly emphasized central section flanked by narrower side fields.
The three drawers feature panelled fronts that reinforce the balanced architectural composition, while the lower drawer is finished with a graceful scalloped apron that softens the otherwise restrained geometry of the design.

Brass escutcheons and drop handles provide a warm contrast to the painted surface, highlighting the depth and character of the weathered finish.

The chests stand on tapered, fluted legs, lending a sense of elegance and lightness to their proportions.

Sweden, circa 1840–1860.
