This Swedish Gustavian style painted wood chest from circa 1860, is meticulously crafted to embody the timeless grace of Scandinavian design. The chest showcases a marbleized top, its delicate pattern serving as a captivating focal point. This top, with its unique protruding corners canted in the front, adds a distinctive touch to the piece. Below, a frieze of carved dentil molding lends a layer of ornate detailing, beautifully contrasting with the chest's minimalist silhouette.

Fluted side posts flank the drawers, adding a rhythmic pattern that draws the eye.
