Gilt Leather Verentuil on Swedish Baroque Chairs
— Article écrit par Fred le 23/11/2013 —
I've always thought that this sort of Swedish Baroque chair has a strong Spanish influence.
It's through, my knowledge on the subject being limited.
Perhaps you, Dear Reader can shed some light on this puzzling question.
So far this is, in a nutshell, what I read :
Apparently our Scandinavian friends didn't invent their own style.
Instead they copied chairs, removed the excess of clutter and thus, ...... created their own style.
Lages Ab, Our Swedish distributor and talented upholsterer ordered some Goudleer (giltleather) for a customer whom had chosen an unusual version of our Verentuil
A specific polychrome paint on a dominant Silvery Mother of Pearl ground.
I had my doubts.
Having seen the chairs these doubts have faded.
Judge for yourself
As Always,
