About the Item

A charming pair of Swedish Gustavian side chairs from the late 18th century, each scraped back to reveal traces of their original soft grayish-white paint, now beautifully timeworn and evocative of their age. These chairs embody the restrained elegance typical of the Gustavian period, with gently tapered legs, H-form stretchers for stability, and a tall, refined back with vertical splats crowned by a subtle floral crest. Crafted from pine and newly upholstered in natural linen, the chairs offer a harmonious balance between rustic authenticity and quiet sophistication. The surface patina, with its delicate wear and softened edges, speaks to centuries of use and care, bringing a romantic, storied quality to any interior. Perfect for flanking a console, framing a fireplace, or accenting a bedroom with a whisper of Nordic grace. Seat: 18"H x 14"D
