About the Item

Early Swedish Rococo tobacco cabinet with strong Baroque architectural influence, dating to the mid-18th century. Crafted in pine and retaining layered historic paint in iron red and deep charcoal-green tones, this piece reflects the restrained elegance of rural Scandinavian design during the Rococo period. Tall and narrow, this piece was designed specifically for the storage, curing, and organization of tobacco—an important and regulated commodity in Sweden during this period. The cabinet features a paneled door with vertical fluting, an open central compartment, interior shelving, and multiple drawers above and below, originally used to separate leaf tobacco, snuff, and related tools. Original painted surfaces remain throughout, with deeply worn tones and patina consistent with early Swedish rural furniture. Hand-cut joinery, simple hardware, and irregular construction details reflect pre-industrial craftsmanship. The removable lower plinth base adds both visual weight and functionality, a common feature in Swedish storage furniture of the period. A rare and character-rich example of early 18th-century Scandinavian storage furniture. Found in Sweden, circa 1720–1760 The cabinet is of solid pine construction. Retains layered historic paint with visible wear and natural patina. Reeded drawer fronts with iron ring pulls. Paneled door with vertical reeded detail. The original skeleton key and lock are present. Removable lower plinth base. The cupboard is solid and sturdy; however, it does possess a slight lean. Interior shelving shows age-appropriate wear. Areas of wear with minor scratches are present throughout, consistent with age and use. Approximately 23.75” W x 14.125” D x 57.875” H.
