Swedish Gustavian Cabinet in Original Paint, circa 1780

EB-000008

A Swedish Gustavian cabinet in its original paint, circa 1780. Each door has a single long fielded panel, where four smaller panels were more common, giving the piece an unusually calm and architectural front beneath a simple moulded cornice.

Provenance: Herrborum manor house in Östergötland, where the cabinet was used for clothes, like a wardrobe, in a private room of the house.
