19th c. Swedish Gustavian Painted Barrel Back Armchair

About the Item

A Swedish antique armchair from the Gustavian period with a unique shaped barrel back, circa 1810. The frame features carved bell flowers with front legs adorned with lotus flowers and rosettes. This chair has been newly upholstered in linen. Richly carved and comfortable. The Gustavian style, named after King Gustav III of Sweden, is a restrained interpretation of the French Louis XV and Louis XVI style. King Gustav III was enamored with the neoclassical style and therefore created his own interpretation for Sweden.
