Scandinavian Empire Grain-Painted Chest of Drawers hanging cabinets Circa 1755-80DETAILS Displaying the original finish, this antique chest of drawers was painted in a faux mahogany grain. It features applied geometric figures along the top and bottom, and corner pilasters, all painted black. It houses a shallow top drawer above four generous drawers and terminates on small, tapered legs. This is a great example of Scandinavian folk furniture and a very useful piece.
