Description
A refined set of four period Gustavian chairs from Sweden, late 18th to early 19th century, each scraped to reveal traces of their original paint. These chairs embody the restrained elegance and natural harmony that define the Gustavian aesthetic — light tones, graceful proportions, and understated ornamentation. The curved ladder-backs flow gently into square tapered legs connected by stretchers, ensuring both stability and poise. The painted surface, now softly worn, reveals layers of pale gray and cream, lending a sense of quiet authenticity and age. Newly upholstered in neutral linen, the seats complement the weathered patina while maintaining the simplicity that makes Gustavian furniture so timeless. Perfect for a dining room or an airy interior, this set captures the serene beauty of Swedish neoclassicism — where rustic honesty meets classical refinement. A rare and beautifully preserved ensemble of genuine Gustavian craftsmanship.
