Set of Ten 18th Century Swedish Dining Chairs

Offered by: Jacqueline Adams Antiques

Description
This set of ten 18th-century Swedish dining chairs showcases the timeless elegance of Gustavian design, inspired by French neoclassicism but adapted to Scandinavian aesthetics. Each chair features a delicate and graceful silhouette, with a rounded, arched backrest adorned by an intricately carved splat in the shape of a lyre—a hallmark motif of the Gustavian period symbolizing harmony and refinement.

The frames are hand-carved from wood, likely pine, with traces of the original painted finish, giving them a soft patina that emphasizes their antique authenticity. The subtle detailing along the legs and aprons reflects the exceptional craftsmanship of the era. Each chair is topped with an upholstered seat, recently covered in a sleek dark fabric, providing comfort while complementing the light tones of the frame.

Perfectly suited for a sophisticated dining space, this rare and cohesive set offers a harmonious blend of functionality, artistry, and historical charm.
