Biedermeier & Gustavian Sofa For Sale | UK USA Delivery

Swedish Biedermeier sofas are known for their elegant architectural lines, beautifully figured birch or mahogany veneers and restrained early-19th-century decoration.

Gustavian sofas generally have lighter painted frames, refined neoclassical proportions and carved decorative details inspired by late-18th-century Swedish design.

Both styles combine practical seating with strong decorative character and can work beautifully in period or contemporary interiors. The age, construction, finish and condition of each sofa are explained in its individual listing.

We have specialised in Swedish furniture since 2005 and personally select each sofa for its craftsmanship, proportions, construction, finish and decorative character.

Because this is an enquiry-led catalogue rather than an automated online shop, we can provide detailed condition information, measurements, additional photographs and a video viewing before purchase.

Our talented team can also carry out restoration, refinishing, repainting and reupholstery for an extra cost. We will discuss any proposed work with you and provide clear quotations for the work and delivery before you decide.

Our approach is to preserve the character, craftsmanship and history of each sofa while making sure it is structurally sound and suitable for continued use.

Our own specialist restorer carefully assesses the frame, joints, veneers, carved details and finish. Wherever possible, original materials and patina are retained, structural repairs are carried out discreetly and unnecessary over-restoration is avoided.
