About the Item

A two-tiered wooden cabinet from the 18th century Swedish Gustavian period. The top door opens to reveal a decorative top shelf and three other shelves. The top of the bottom shelf can be opened forward to use as a small counter. There are also many small drawers to store small items. The colors are typical of the Swedish preference for light tones, such as distinctive reds and light blues, aimed at brightening up rooms during the long, dark Scandinavian winters. All original paintwork remains, and a sun-like painting can be faintly seen on the top door. The Gustavian style has its roots in the Louis XVI era. King Gustav III of Sweden stayed in Paris in 1771, at the dawn of the Louis XVI style. There he was inspired by French art and fashion, which fuelled his desire to introduce something similar to it in Sweden. Sweden had skilled craftsmen with high quality workmanship who created a simple style with a harmonious aesthetic. The Gustavian style was born and has been highly praised around the world ever since, and has a special place in the world of antique furniture.
