About the Item

A very unusual Swedish Gustavian period painted demilune commode/chest of drawers from the late 18th century in charming proportions that could easily take the place of a small buffet or console beyond clothing storage. Two spacious drawers occupy the deep case that is entirely washed in a soft gray typical of the Scandinavian taste for light palettes that aim to brighten rooms in dark winters, warmed by an intentional scraped effect revealing some of the grain underneath. Two bow-front drawers fitted with Louis XVI style hardware retain some of the original paper lining, the areas of loss (to the paper) creating another layer of tactile patina. The chest is raised on four tapered legs. By its clean lines and engaging features, this period demilune chest of drawers will make for a lovely addition to any bedroom, living room or hallway, having been gently cleaned and polished to maintain the nicely weathered finish and natural character. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition or reach out directly with any questions.
