"The Swedish Gustavian Provincial style is distinctive in its
clean, hand-carved lines and cool color palette of blues, grays, and weathered
whites. King Gustav himself imported these influences from other parts of
Europe, such as the Louis XVI styles seen in France and the Neo-Classical
styles seen in Italy during this period." -

"The classic greys and off whites of the Gustavian colour
palette set off the striking use of gold gilt most elegantly. While most people
are familiar with grey Gustavian minimalism, the Gustavian public entertaining
rooms were awash with amazing giltwood sofas, chairs, mirrors, chairs and
cabinets in a Swedish interpretation of the more ostentatious French Louis XVI
styling. You may also recognize the classic ribbed front pattern that appears
on many grey/white Gustavian cabinets as an intricate part of the design. Also
the classic Gustavian sofa draws heavily on the French Louis xvi style. Very
often in gold gilt or white and gold, the sofas would be very detailed in
appointments and wonderfully handcarved." -
