PAIR OF BLUE-PAINTED SWEDISH GUSTAVIAN-STYLE BEDSIDE COMMODES
With paint-simulating-stone tops | Northern European, circa 20th century

28" H x 17 1/8" D x 33" W

Of very good quality, this pair of bedside chests are handmade in the Gustavian taste with careful attention to period details and craftsmanship: the hand dovetailing, construction of the back and joinery throughout, carved surface and painted surface are all in keeping with the chests of the Gustavian period. The tops carefully painted to simulate stone tops, these with a projecting molding around the sides over canted and fluted corners with bas-relief rosettes at the top. The fronts are comprised of three drawers, a smaller situated over two equally larger drawers, all three with graduated raised diamonds around raised circles with a single sand-cast bronze ring pull in the center. The chests are raised on tapered fluted feet.

Great size, amazing surface and built to last the test of time. A very fine pair.

Condition: Rubbing, chipping and wear to the paint surface throughout as expected. Ready to place.
