Swedish Gustavian Period 18th Century Painted Commode
$11,500.0030.63"H x 40"W x 21.13"D
Dimensions: 30 ⅝” H x 40” W x 21 ⅛” D
A spectacular three-drawer commode from Sweden, circa 1790, that alludes to a Louis XVI influence met with the pared-down Nordic sensibility of both culture and time period. On top are the remains of a gray paint washing the surface which is shaped to chamfered front corners that overhang the fluted pilasters. The case of three drawers features weathered layers of rust-red paint in that delightfully tactile, scraped finish so iconic of the Gustavian style. The ruddy complexion is interrupted by small brass ring-pull hardware displaying Neoclassical urns along with oval escutcheons (however no key is present). The angled pilasters are enhanced with fluting, punctuated at the capital and base with small rosettes. A dovetail motif adornment, cut from brass, crowns the square, tapering legs. These unique elements beg for more prominent placement in the modern interior, with the scale that’s a fine alternative to a console table or small buffet. We believe this to be in good antique condition considering its age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos.

Dimensions: 72 ½” H x 64 ¼” W x 24 ¾” D
An extraordinary Dutch wardrobe made in the late Renaissance period, 18th century. This substantial antique work of storage furniture is all hand-crafted of solid oak, some panels with “tigering” that creates a rippled appearance in the wood to fascinate in any room for storage of linens, clothing, or household essentials. Two thick, paneled doors work in tandem by functioning lock and key to enclose the divided interior: the right door is fitted with the lock while the left door is secured by a forged iron slide bolt in the top. The doors open to reveal two fixed shelves per side, ranging from 13 ½” – 19 ¼” deep over a pair of shallow drawers in the base opening by turned wood knobs. It appears that a small hanging rod was once added to the right-side cabinet which has since been removed leaving the brackets in place to retrofit to one’s own unique needs and taste. One of the most distinguishing features of this piece are the ebonized, bun feet whose roundness and proportions are a delightful contrast to the geometry above.

English Pair of 19th Century Cast Stone Garden Urns
$12,600.0046"H x 30"W x 30"D
Dimensions: 46” H x 30” W x 30” D
A magnificent pair of circa 1880 English garden urns in the form of tazzas, rising from heavy pedestals to install in the garden or patio. Cast in reconstituted stone (a concrete material) then applied with further decorative textures to appear chiseled, they have gained a wonderful patina from over a century of outdoor weathering and, coupled with Neoclassical formality, they command attention in any setting. The circumference of the wide, shallow urns is defined by an egg & dart motif at the lip and beaded rows where they narrow and taper to the foot. Drainage holes pierce the sides of the bowls to use for planting (or drip irrigation) with an interior depth of 5”. The monumental bases feature a square block widening to a stacked foot on the ground, which differ slightly between them from where they were extracted from the original architecture. We believe these to be in good antique condition considering the age, and any visible signs of wear are captured in the photos. Please view the detailed image gallery for the current condition and message us with any questions. Sold as a pair. Each urn separates into four components for easier transportation and installation.

Dimensions: 35 ½” H x 73” W x 26 ¼”” D
An expressive Biedermeier period chaise lounge–also called a “recamier”–dating to circa 1820 Sweden, in the manner of the famous maker Karl Johan.
