About the Item

The Gustavian set you described is a beautiful and rare find, reflecting the elegance and craftsmanship of the 19th-century Gustavian style. Gustavian furniture is inspired by the neoclassical designs of the late 18th century and is characterized by its light and airy appearance, straight lines, and delicate decorative elements. It emerged in Sweden during the reign of King Gustav III in the late 18th century and continued to be popular throughout the 19th century. The set includes a sofa, a side table, two armchairs, and two dining chairs, all adorned with bronze ornaments. The use of bronze ornaments adds a touch of luxury and refinement to the set, accentuating the neoclassical aesthetics of the Gustavian style. The set is in great vintage condition, which is impressive given its age of approximately 1840. Antique furniture in such condition is highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, as it retains its original charm and authenticity. Here are the measurements for each piece of the set: Sofa: 100 cm (height) x 138 cm (width) x 59 cm (depth) x 43 cm (seat height). Side table: 68 cm (height) x 79 cm (width). Armchairs: 86 cm (height) x 58 cm (width) x 53 cm (depth) x 44 cm (seat height). Dining chairs: 91 cm (height) x 41 cm (width) x 44 cm (depth) x 42 cm (seat height). These dimensions indicate that the set is designed with attention to proportion and comfort, characteristic of Gustavian furniture. The sofa and armchairs are suitable for comfortable seating, while the side table and dining chairs offer practicality and elegance for dining and social gatherings. Overall, the Gustavian set with bronze ornaments from around 1840 is a remarkable and valuable collection of furniture, representing the timeless appeal and historical significance of the Gustavian style. Owning such a set brings a touch of history and sophistication to any interior space, making it a cherished and treasured addition to the home.
