About the Item

This stunning Gustavian daybed, dating back to the 18th century, is a perfect example of Swedish neoclassical elegance. Known for its graceful simplicity and refined proportions, the Gustavian style was inspired by French Louis XV style, with an emphasis on symmetry, lightness, and understated beauty. This piece features beautifully carved amphora motifs on each foot, adding a touch of classical sophistication. The daybed is painted in an antique blue patina, evoking the charm and timeless appeal of Swedish craftsmanship. Measuring 194 cm in width and 130 cm in depth, it is generously sized and offered with a new, hand-crafted mattress made from vintage hemp canvas, providing both historical authenticity and modern comfort. Structurally, the sommiers and feet are detachable, offering practicality for transport and storage, though the junction between the mattress base and feet requires stabilization. This versatile piece is perfect for use as a luxurious lounge, a stylish daybed in a living room or guest room, or even as an elegant reading nook. Its classic beauty and multifunctionality make it a statement piece in any home.
