The Gustavian Style takes its roots in the Louis XVI era. Swedish King Gustav III resided in 1771 in Paris, at the beginning stages of the Louis XVI style. There, he was inspired by French art and fashion. With that in his luggage, he had a strong desire to introduce something similar in Sweden. The country had fine craftsmen with high quality craftsmanship, who produced a simple style with harmonious aesthetics. The Gustavian Style was born and has been in vogue ever since. It is incredibly popular, especially in England but also in France and in the USA. Price and age are of course inextricably linked, the older and rarer the higher the price!
Please note that the sides and back of the nightstand tables are plain and unfinished, allowing them to seamlessly blend into any design scheme.
Elevate your bedroom with the timeless beauty of these Swedish Gustavian style nightstand tables. Their refined details, elegant design, and functional storage make them a perfect addition to any Gustavian or Scandinavian-inspired interior. - More Information
