Each chest displays a carved Greek key meander along the top, canted sides topped with floral medallions, and rests on fluted tapered feet.
The pair has a newer professionally applied layered painted finish with an overall seafoam blue appearance blending blue and teal tones. Light distressing reveals natural wood beneath and adds depth and character to the finish. Please enlarge photos to appreciate the layered texture of the paint.
Each chest has three drawers with three panel front on each and fitted with two brass pulls. Drawer bottoms show typical age-related cracks and separation; some contain old knots that have fallen out, creating small holes that do not impact use or function. Restored, strong, stable, and ready for use, this is a refined and visually striking Gustavian pair.
