Mid-Century Swedish Chest of Drawers by STEENS – Clean, Sculpted, and Collectable

Fresh from a careful refresh, this mid-century modern chest by STEENS of Sweden blends form and function in the way only Scandinavian furniture can. Crafted with attention to detail and built to last, it features four generously deep drawers, clean interiors, and elegantly sculpted handles — all intact and original.

This piece offers substantial storage without sacrificing style. Its refined silhouette and warm tones sit beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, or hallways — a true all-rounder for the modern mid-century home. One small chip to the back edge and light signs of use reflect its vintage story without detracting from its clean lines.

A wonderful example of sustainable design thinking, this chest proves that good furniture never goes out of fashion. Built to serve across generations, and a worthy alternative to mass-produced storage.

About STEENS:

CONDITION


Please bear in mind that all our vintage and retro items have had a life before you purchase them (sometimes quite a long one!) therefore they will show signs of wear and use, these may include knocks, dents and scratches, bumps and scuffs which are commensurate with age and previous use. We never sell items that we wouldn’t be happy to have in our own homes and provide images detailing any significant damage or unusual wear. Please carefully read the details and examine the images prior to purchase. All our items have been thoroughly cleaned and de-greased, re-oiled and polished (where necessary) and are fit for purpose. If you’re unsure, or would like some more information, please contact us, we’re always happy to help!
