Drawer edges and side corners are trimmed in contrasting black. The upper crown features a simple scalloped profile with painted detail in pale green/antique white.
The chest rests on a lower frame with heavy carved dentil molding.
Each drawer is fitted with two brass ring pulls and opens to reveal interior bottoms showing typical age-related separation of planks.
The original locks are no longer present, though evidence remains at the center top drawer where a lock was once installed.
The top and sides show age-related cracks, nicks, and gouges, with additional separation visible along the back and signs of old dried wormhole activity (non-active).
The chest has been restored and is strong, stable, and ready to use. A strong example of Scandinavian country craftsmanship retaining its original surface.
