About the Item

A rare and characterful Scandinavian Folk Art chest, crafted in solid oak and dated 1764. The front is richly decorated with hand-carved floral and foliate panels, flanking a central key escutcheon, and an inscribed band with the original owner’s name and date, testifying to its provenance and history. The chest rests on shaped block feet and retains side-mounted iron handles, combining practicality with decorative detail. Its beautifully aged patina and surface wear reflect more than 250 years of use, enhancing both its authenticity and rustic charm. A fine example of 18th-century Scandinavian folk art design, where functionality meets artistry. This chest will complement both modern and traditional interiors, bringing depth, history, and authenticity to any space.
