About the Item
A Swedish Neoclassical period painted wood sofa circa 1780 with oval back, carved guilloche frieze, scrolling arms, seven legs and carved rosettes. Celebrate the classical elegance with this exquisite Swedish Neoclassical period painted wood sofa, circa 1780. This antique treasure encapsulates a rich history and masterful craftsmanship that transcends generations, making it an undeniable centerpiece in any living space.
The sofa features an oval back, a distinguishing feature, that is embellished with a carved guilloche design, a classic motif revered for its intricate interlacing, a testament to the era's love for detailed ornamentation. The open arms are partially upholstered and fashioned with scrolling knuckles, contributing to the piece's dramatic flair and providing comfort.
The apron echoes the guilloche pattern, further accentuating the design continuity and aesthetic harmony. The sofa stands on seven finely fluted legs, adorned with carved rosettes at the knees in the front, a classic Neoclassical detail symbolizing elegance and sophistication.
Coated in a soft grey paint, the sofa embodies the typical Scandinavian taste, complementing the allure of its design with a muted color palette that invites tranquility and serenity. The upholstery on the back, seat, and top arms, while showing signs of use, is in fair condition.
This Swedish Neoclassical period painted wood sofa is more than just a seating furniture, it's a captivating blend of design, history, and artistry that would make a remarkable statement in your home or office.
