Historical Background
Gustavian design describes the more subdued interpretation of the Louis XV and XVI styles in 18th century Sweden.
Specifically, it refers to the reigns of kings Gustav III, Gustav IV, and Charles XIII. Gustav III, who reigned from 1771 to 1792, brought French influence to Sweden after his 1771 visit to France.
In France, Gustav fell in love with the Neoclassic designs popularized during the reign of King Louis XVI.
At first, furniture made in the Gustavian style was only for the royals in their stately homes. In these palaces, rooms showcased polished and inlaid woods, luxurious gilt finishes, and expensive fabrics, silk tapestries, and bold parquet flooring.
Soon, the integration of foreign mannerisms diffused throughout Sweden. First, with the upper-class, then quickly to the Swedish country.
