Those of you who are familiar with Gustavian furniture would probably have heard of
Real Gustavian, a company that primary deals in authentic Swedish antiques and
Gustavian furniture. For the uninitiated, Gustavian furniture emerged in the 18th-
century Swedish Neo-classicism period, during the reign of Gustav III. As an active
supporter of the European Enlightenment, the King showed a predilection towards arts
and hence Gustavian furniture was clearly inspired by Louis XVI and also echoed
German and Dutch influences.
Real Gustavian is run by Lani Sternerup who has a stellar reputation in the art market
thanks to her extensive knowledge on Swedish art and architectural history. In fact
Real Gustavian also prides itself for procuring only authentic furniture pieces from the
Sweden's Gustavian period. The company also deals in historic reproduction
Gustavian furniture that has been handcrafted in Swedish hardwoods, hand carved
and most importantly still made in Sweden. But you don’t need a plane ticket to
experience the Gustavian world, as you can pay a visit to their boutique in Great
Barrington, MA!

However the most exquisite piece
in the collection according to me
is the late 18th century Gustavian
gilded console table.
Manufactured in Stockholm, this
rare in the US. The intricate
patterns, the superb
craftsmanship and the historical
legacy makes this console table
an object d’ art.
