This richly-detailed work deals with Stockholm’s finest furnituret-makers during the golden age of that genre from 1700 to 1850. The final result of 40 years of research and editing by brothers Bengt and Torsten Sylvén, this book provides a general overview of dominant styles and materials used during this time followed by an extensive alphabetical list of all furniture craftsmen in Stockholm. This section includes many illustrated examples of the furniture made by these artists, reproductions of their signatures, as well as descriptions of their lives and work. Numerous appendices, glossaries, and an extensive bibliography also ensure that this book is the ultimate reference guide for any collector or lover of Swedish furniture from this period.
