Chest 1777

This 18th century chest, crafted by Ivar Kvalen (Quallen), showcases a rich blue-green hue accented with intricate floral motifs painted in gold, red, and white. The decorative metalwork, including rivets and bands, adds a sturdy and rustic element to the design. This "Chest" exemplifies the Scandinavian style of the time, combining both functionality and artistic expression, and is now part of the Minneapolis Institute of Art's collection.
