About the Item

A refined late 19th Century Swedish Gustavian daybed crafted in hand-carved Pinewood, in good original condition. This elegant antique sofa reflects the hallmark characteristics of the Gustavian aesthetic—lightness, balance, and understated neoclassical detailing inspired by French design influences brought to Sweden during the reign of Gustav III. The tall, gently curved back and side rests are composed of finely slatted woodwork, offering both visual openness and architectural presence. The frame is supported by eight round, tapered, and fluted feet, each adorned with subtle carved motifs that emphasize the piece’s sophisticated Scandinavian craftsmanship. The proportions are graceful yet functional, allowing the daybed to serve equally well as a sofa, bench, or decorative statement piece in both traditional and contemporary interiors. The Pinewood surface retains a beautifully worn patina, with minor fading, marks, and natural wear consistent with age and use. Upholstery is required and can be customized to complement any design scheme. A timeless example of 19th Century Swedish furniture making, embodying the quiet elegance and harmonious lines that define the Gustavian movement. Circa 1870–1890, Stockholm, Sweden, Scandinavia.
