Chair Bertil Karlsson History:

A late Gustavian chair that was found broken in the warehouse when Bertil Karlsson’s antique shop in Gamla Gefle changed owners in the 1980s. The chair was probably made around 1800 and is unusually simple with its square front legs – normally they are turned – and with a leather-imitating wooden seat. At the same time, few Bellman chairs – the model is usually called that – are as simply elegant as this one. The original chair was originally painted with mahogany-imitation English red linseed oil paint and with a black seat. Equally common were gray chairs with black seats. Both variants are painted in Nästgårdshuset in Gysinge. The chair is made entirely by hand and all surfaces are hand-planed. The cross in the back has a typical crossing construction (compare the shortcuts on other “copies” on the market) made of two connected parts, and therefore extremely durable. The round rosette in the back cross is carved by sculptors.
