Average Customer Ratings:

An exploration of Swedish furniture and interiors, from royal salons with exquisite Pompeian ornament to modest splatter-painted Biedermeier halls. The volume contains nearly 400 photographs presenting the decoration and furnishings of 20 houses and apartments in neoclassical style with a Swedish freshness. The text traces the evolution of the neoclassical style in Sweden, placing it in its wider European context, and examines the history of each of the buildings. Plans and original drawings by the architects and designers are included.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

As good as it get's -
A rich variety of houses, some grander than the others, but all well-to-do peoples dwellings. Some of the manors featured aren't very well known even in Sweden, but they certainly deserve their place here. The few I do miss are featured in "The Swedish Room" e.i. Lay-out-wise it is by now perhaps a little dated, but the auther knows his subject very well and the accompaning photos are mostly marvellous. When a Swede writes on Swedish interiors the result is accurate as this book shows.

Excellent and erudite -
This book is a treasure of neoclassicism in Sweden. It is supported by sensible (not gushy interior design talk) text and is logically sequenced.

The pictures and additional material is excellent; although the lighting in some of the photographs is less than perfect.

This is an inspirational reference for the topic.

Fabulous Resource -
This is another great book for Swedish decorative detail .A great asset in the decorative artist`s Library.A good source for Bolander`s beautiful wall murals. Great photography with excellent detail shots .A beautiful and knowledgable book. I am a decorative artist specializing in custom painted furniture for decorators and designers and have found this book to be a great resource and very helpful in my work.
