A set of 6 period Gustavian Scandinavian Chairs

This set of six period Gustavian Scandinavian chairs dates to the 18th century and reflects the refined simplicity characteristic of South Swedish or Danish seating of the era. The chairs have been scraped back to their original red-painted surface, revealing a warm, earthy tone with visible wear and patina that speak to their age and authenticity.
Each chair features a rectilinear back with vertical slats, emphasizing clean lines and restrained ornamentation typical of Gustavian design. The seats are upholstered in dark fabric, providing a subtle contrast to the painted frames while maintaining a balanced and understated appearance. Slender, straight legs reinforce the architectural clarity and lightness of the form.
Crafted in Sweden during the 18th century, this cohesive set offers both decorative presence and functional versatility. Wear consistent with age is present throughout and enhances their historical character. These chairs are well suited for use around a dining table or as accent seating in traditional or pared-back interiors that favor authentic Scandinavian design.

This is an antique and having been around for a long time, it will show signs of wear. Antique pieces have very much sought-after character and associated flaws. Please review photos for condition & contact us with questions!
