The Swedish golden age when it comes to designing 
chairs is the style, Gustavian Rococo, which came 
in the middle of the 18th century.The styles were 
first developed in high-class environments, and 
then moved on to the common people. Different 
styles were often mixed there. And different style 
elements could survive for a very long time.

Many folk chairs gained great character, and often 
became a little diverse, which enhances the personality 
(a face is never one-sided).

This is an unusually well-made folk chair. It was donated 
to the county museum by Dr. K Bergström, from Grönskåra, 
and comes from Kråksmåla. It is not known more about the 
chair, but on the back of the back plate is the date 1795.



Gustavian style, rounded back, complete back plate that 
has a beautifully cut checkerboard pattern with small 
cut stars in the cross. Square front legs and wooden seat. 
(High-end chairs of this model often had upholstered seats 
and turned front legs.) Beautifully painted in light green with 
a cut and painted 
bow at the top of the back plate. A well-made and beautiful chair.
