Pair of Gustavian Chairs, Lindome, Late 18th Century

A pair of period Gustavian chairs made in Lindome, Sweden's celebrated chairmaking district, in the late 18th century. The pair is distinguished by unusual decorative carving in the backs, a departure from the standard Lindome patterns that gives these chairs particular character and collector interest. They have been sympathetically repainted and newly covered in linen, presenting cleanly and ready for immediate use. Period Gustavian pairs are the workhorses of Swedish-inflected decorating, serving as bedroom chairs, flanking a chest, or supplementing dining seating, and examples with atypical backs stand out in a market full of standard models. Lindome attribution adds provenance that collectors recognize. The frames are sound, with wear consistent with age and use throughout.

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!
