Rare and unusually intact early Swedish Rococo tobacco cabinet with strong Baroque architectural influence. Tall and narrow in form, this piece was designed specifically for the storage, curing, and organization of tobacco—an important and regulated commodity in Sweden during this period.
The cabinet features a paneled door with vertical fluting, an open central compartment, interior shelving, and multiple drawers above and below, originally used to separate leaf tobacco, snuff, and related tools. Original painted surfaces remain throughout, with deeply worn tones and patina consistent with early Swedish rural furniture. Hand-cut joinery, simple hardware, and irregular construction details reflect pre-industrial craftsmanship.
A highly functional object rooted in daily ritual rather than decoration, this cabinet stands as a rare survivor of early Scandinavian utilitarian furniture—both visually compelling and historically significant.
Found in Sweden, circa 1720–1760
The cabinet is of solid pine construction
Retains layered historic paint with visible wear and natural patina
Reeded drawer fronts with iron ring pulls
Paneled door with vertical reeded detail
The original skeleton key and lock are present
Removable lower plinth base
The cupboard is solid and sturdy; however, it does possess a slight lean
Interior shelving shows age-appropriate wear
Areas of wear with minor scratches are present throughout, consistent with age and use
Approximately 23.75” W x 14.125” D x 57.875” H
