FAQs

The Gustavian style emerged in Sweden during the late 18th century under the reign of King Gustav III, heavily influenced by French neoclassical designs from the courts of Louis XVI, but interpreted with a distinct Nordic restraint and lighter colour palette.

These pieces were typically constructed from domestic hardwoods such as pine, birch, or beech, featuring hand-carved decorative motifs, traditional mortise and tenon joinery, layered gesso and paint finishes, and woven cane panels for backs and seats.

Authentic pieces often exhibit signs of age such as hand-mixed historical paint layers, natural wear on high-touch surfaces, hand-woven caning irregularities, and traditional tool marks hidden beneath the frame construction.

A classic wooden settee can be softened in contemporary spaces by adding linen scatter cushions or a sheepskin throw, contrasting its structured neoclassical frame against minimalist or industrial architectural backdrops.

To preserve antique cane, maintain stable indoor humidity levels to prevent the natural fibres from drying out and cracking, and clean gently with a soft brush and slightly damp cloth without harsh chemicals.
