The Gustavian style, the Swedish interpretation of neoclassicism, is expressed in the restrained lines and proportions of the chair. The blue repaint gives it a soft, decorative surface in the Scandinavian palette, while the fresh linen upholstery leaves it ready for use. Its generous scale makes it a comfortable seat. Suited to use as an accent or occasional chair in a reception room, library, or bedroom, the armchair provides comfortable seating with strong period character. The blue paint and linen cover balance decoration with practicality. Suited to both period and plainer modern interiors, the chair serves as both a functional and a decorative seat. As a large Gustavian armchair in the Swedish Model, it offers comfortable period seating with the calm, painted character of Swedish furniture. See less
