About the Item

A Petite 19th century Swedish Gustavian Bench Approximate size: 29.5”H x 64.5”W x 14”D This exceptional 19th-century Swedish sofa bench, dating around 1800, perfectly embodies the graceful, restrained refinement of the Gustavian period, with its neoclassical style inspired by King Gustav III's admiration for the French Louis XV and Louis XVI aesthetic. The bench’s original paint is revealed beneath later iterations, forming a lovely blue and white craquelure patina while highlighting the detailed artistry evident in its simple-form and spindled back seat. This bench is equally suited for an elegant hall or serving as a striking banquette in a breakfast room, Condition commensurate with age with various rubbing and losses to the paint layers. An aged split along the seating plank traverses natural knots in the wood running along the surface area. Old worming along the lower extremities of the bench. Other minor fissures are present and the seat is slightly separating partially from the back support along the front-facing left side of the bench. Overall stable.
