About the Item

18th-Century Painted Gustavian Chest of Drawers – c.1770 An exceptional 18th-century painted Gustavian chest of drawers, combining the refined elegance of Swedish neoclassical design with the decorative artistry of Italian craftsmanship. Beautifully proportioned and richly detailed, this commode features a subtly curved façade with three spacious oak-lined drawers, framed by graceful cabriole legs and ornate brass handles. The original hand-painted finish, gently distressed through time, reveals soft tones of pale grey, cream, and blue — colours emblematic of the Gustavian palette. Beneath the aged surface, traces of delicate floral motifs and scrollwork evoke the influence of late-Rococo Italian decoration, creating a rare fusion of northern restraint and southern flourish. The mahogany and oak carcass is exceptionally well made, the top showing a beautifully worn patina that speaks of centuries of use and care. Elegant in form and rich in character, this antique chest is both a practical storage piece and a statement focal point in any interior — from classic country house to modern townhouse. Styled interiors are for presentation purposes and intended to inspire. Final layout may vary. Dimensions Height: 101 cm Width: 63 cm Length: 147 cm Date of Manufacture: Circa 1770 Origin: Northern Italy / Gustavian Influence Materials: Mahogany, Oak, Paint, Brass Condition: Good antique condition; minor chips and age wear consistent with use. Please keep in mind that this is a large and heavy commode, reflecting its sturdy construction and historical authenticity. Therefore, it’s not just a piece of furniture but a work of art that speaks to a bygone era of elegance and craftsmanship. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this remarkable 18th-century Italian commode. It’s more than furniture—it’s a legacy.
