    Pair of Swedish Gustavian Style Painted Tub Chairs with Carved Campanula Friezes

    A pair of Swedish Gustavian style painted wood tub chairs from the late 19th century, with curving backs, carved campanula friezes and waterleaf motifs. A curving back comes to rest on a rectangular seat which is ready, like the back for reupholstery. The apron is adorned with a delicate campanula frieze running on three sides. Each chair is raised on two cylindrical tapering legs in the front, carved with waterleaves and two saber legs in the back. They are all accented with carved rosettes on the knees and are painted in a soft color typical of the Swedish taste for light palettes aiming at brightening the rooms during the dark winters of Scandinavia. With their elegant Gustavian style lines and skillfully carved motifs, this pair of Swedish tub chairs circa 1890 will bring a touch of Classical elegance to any home.
