Step into the epitome of 19th-century Swedish design with this resplendent pair of Gustavian style chests. The antiqued off-white/cream finish harmonizes with your interior, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance. Each chest features a classic rectangular top resting gracefully above a masterfully carved Greek Key frieze—a motif that symbolizes eternal flow.
