Antique Painted Pine Dresser
Ref: 1797
An antique painted pine country dresser from Sweden. Consists of rack and base with two door cupboard. Bought from private collection and prior to that from Swedish dealer. Signs of it being quite early, the wide assymetrical backboards, slots by the door where the earlier strap hinges were, the fielded panels are typical of late 18th and early 1800s.
Most unusual is the tapering canted back upper section presumably giving it greater stability and greater security for the display of one’s best china on an earthern floor, a neat indigenous Scandanavian design touch.
Sweden late 18th/early 19th cent.
H: 185cm (72.8in)
W: 127cm (50.0in)
D: 48cm (18.9in)
