Late 18th Century Swedish Gustavian Daybed. Original Price: $13,000

Design Plus Gallery presents a Swedish Gustavian Daybed from the Late 18th Century. The bed frame is made from solid woods, and has neoclassical lines that highlight its hand-carved accents. There are delicate details along the rail and legs that make these comparable to reed rooting upwards in ponds. Exhibiting authentic character, the frame displays a natural distressed finish that has developed over centuries. It shows traces of original paint peeking through the softly worn patina. Accompanying the daybed is a pair of luxurious Fortuny fabric bolsters, known for their sumptuous patterns and luminous quality, that perfectly complements the base. As a true antique, the daybed possesses a light, characteristic wobble, a gentle reminder of its history and expert hand-craftsmanship, adding to its soulful charm. This Gustavian daybed is a rare find, equally at home in both period interiors and modern, eclectic spaces. It has wear that is consistent with its antique age and the cushion for the daybed does not have a cover on it.
