The Gustavian style, the Swedish interpretation of neoclassicism, is expressed in the measured proportions and form of the stool. Compact and portable, stools of this kind served as additional seating or as footstools and were easily moved about the home. The frame carries the painted or aged surface valued in Swedish period furniture. As a single stool, it suits use as a footstool before a chair, as occasional seating in a hall, or at the end of a bench. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the stool combines function with period character. As a Gustavian stool, it offers a portable low seat together with the restrained, calm character of Swedish neoclassical furniture, bringing period character to a reception room, hall, or bedroom in a compact and versatile form.
