If it is original, then the date is somewhere around the mid 1700s, which means that it is older than a Gustavian piece (1790s). It has been painted (most likely not original paint) in Gustavian colors. Regardless, it is lovely!LL Fredellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16109320671725555595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-780745603109193534.post-77264658921856513582016-06-07T11:48:20.147-04:002016-06-07T11:48:20.147-04:00I don't know what's wrong with people.

I love the way you styled the bookcases, and the screen was an ingenious solution to hiding the doors and keeping the room from looking like a hallway. The chest is truly beautiful. Congratulations on a job well done.

Why not take out the doors and build wall there? You know, close them off forever and ever. Like they were never there. Just wondering. <br /><br />The chest is effing fabulous, by the way.
