About the Item

A beautifully proportioned Swedish daybed with brass accents in the Gustavian style, showcasing the restrained elegance and neoclassical refinement that defines the Gustavian aesthetic. The frame is finished in a soft, time worn pale tone with subtle distressing, allowing the natural character and age of the piece to come through in an understated, authentic way. The gently sweeping open sides feature simple, carved slats- light and airy and perfectly balanced. The apron displays linear reeded detailing, accented with carved rosette at each leg junction. The daybed stands on square, tapered legs, a hallmark of Gustavian furniture inspired by late 18th century French influence brought to Sweden during the reign of Gustav III. An ideal statement piece for a sitting room, bedroom, entry hall, or sun filled reading space - elegant yet relaxed, sophisticated yet approachable. A timeless Swedish piece with presence, grace and versatility- an excellent addition to both classical and contemporary design schemes.
