This 18th-century Swedish Gustavian vitrine cabinet reveals a rich history through its distressed grey finish, where chipped paint exposes layers of aged wood beneath. The cabinet’s frame is tall and rectangular, softened by rounded side columns capped with subtle carvings, nodding to classical design. Each feature door is fitted with chicken wire in the upper and lower sections, adding a rustic contrast to the cabinet’s refined structure. Behind these doors, shelves sit against a backing crafted from painted cotton rather than wood, with a deep burgundy hue that creates a warm inner glow seen through the grid of wire, enhancing a sense of depth.

At its base, sturdy turned feet provide stability, while delicate moldings trace the cabinet’s edges, defining each section with a gentle touch. Small brass handles, softened and darkened by time, blend into the worn wood, adding understated charm. The chipped paint and exposed wood layers tell a story of use and care, embodying an authentic character. This piece merges the Gustavian style’s balance of rustic and refined elements, with the unexpected textile backing adding a unique touch to its timeless design.
