A great example is this wonderful Gustavian painted housekeeper’s cupboard.
It’s got everything we like about Swedish antiques’ style. The design is neoclassical, reflecting King Gustav’s enthusiasm for French creativity in the late 18th century, the proportions are superb and the faded original paint gives this elegant piece a charm that is nevertheless right up to date for modern interiors. Not only that, but it offers plenty of storage space, with three shelves on each side, and, the ultimate design bonus, a beautiful clock face surmounting the entire piece. This cupboard would look exceptionally striking in a kitchen cum dining room.
It’s not just the wonderful original paint colours, musty blues, greys, creams and greens, that elevate Swedish antique furniture, but also the uplifting clean and classical lines, or even, sometimes, the beauty of the pale natural wood.
Our lady’s writing desk in birch combines beautiful colour with elegant lines.
Our 18th century pine side table or console demonstrates the versatile ability of Swedish antiques to look fabulous in classic or contemporary settings.
At Brownrigg our wide range of Swedish antiques includes chairs, chandeliers, desks, paintings, clocks, dining tables, occasional tables and even beautiful gilded pieces, all guaranteed to bring style and harmony to your room settings.
