18th-century Scandinavian popular art oak chest with carved panels, dated 1764.

A rare and characterful chest of Scandinavian folk art, made from solid oak and dated 1764. The front is richly decorated with hand-carved floral and leafy panels, framing a central escutcheon for a key, as well as an inscribed band bearing the name of the original owner and the date, attesting to its provenance and history. The chest rests on block-shaped feet and retains iron side handles, combining practicality with decorative details. Its beautifully aged patina and surface wear reflect over 250 years of use, enhancing both its authenticity and rustic charm. A fine example of 18th-century Scandinavian design where functionality meets art. This chest will complement both modern and traditional interiors, bringing depth, history, and authenticity to any space.
