Pair of Swedish Rococo Period Dining Chairs with Vase-Form Splats, 18th Century
A refined pair of Swedish Rococo period dining chairs from the 18th century, distinguished by their sculptural silhouettes and elegant hand-carved details. Each chair features a tall, open back with a central vase-shaped splat, a motif rooted in classical design and interpreted through the softer, more fluid lines of the Rococo style.
The frames are crafted with gracefully cabriole legs connected by stretchers, providing both stability and visual lightness. The shaped aprons display subtle carved detailing, enhancing the organic movement characteristic of Swedish Rococo furniture. The wood retains a rich, naturally aged patina, with variations in tone that speak to the chairs’ authenticity and history.
The seats have been upholstered in a neutral fabric, offering a clean and versatile contrast to the warmth of the wood. Their proportions and understated elegance make them suitable as dining chairs, side chairs, or accent seating within both traditional and more contemporary interiors.
Circa 1750–1770, this pair embodies the Swedish interpretation of Rococo design—restrained yet expressive, combining craftsmanship, comfort, and timeless aesthetic appeal.
