Georgia's Note
Made exclusively for French Bedroom.
Influenced by French culture and tradition, King Gustav III founded the Gustavian furniture style by amalgamating Swedish ideals with French neoclassicism.
Characterised by its mild distemper and chamfered edge, the Gustavian Dressing table reflects the craftmanship of traditional French designs whilst representing the way we live today. Long, fluted and tapered legs hold up the traditionally symmetrical body of this dressing table that is both stylish and functional.
This dressing table can also be used as a writing desk. Four A4 sized drawers are adorned with bow-design gold metal drawer pulls and surround the larger middle drawer which has a functional lock and key - and a decorative tassle - providing you with a safe space to store valuables or locking away work during the weekend, so you can double up the function of dressing table and writing desk. The hand-carved, panelled drawers feature horizontal fluting‚- a traditional element of Gustavian furniture design. The drawers are fitted with wooden stoppers to provide an ease of opening.
The finishing touches are what make this dressing table traditionally Gustavian. Hand-carved beading surrounds the underside of the chamfered edge, leaving no detail spared to create the perfect piece.
In traditional Gustavian style, this dressing table has been crafted from solid ash wood frame and finished with a mild and light distemper; over time the ash wood will weather to develop a rich patina that only the authenticity of time can evoke.
Our Gustavian Light Collection is made from solid ash wood, a magnificently resilient hardwood. Like all natural wood, ash will gently weather over time, developing a unique patina that only the passing of time can create. The degree and pace of colour change will vary from piece to piece, with factors such as the tree’s age, the season it was felled, time since felling, moisture levels, and exposure to UV light all influencing how the wood seasons and matures.
Ash begins its life in tones ranging from pale cream to light beige. Over time and depending on light exposure - the wood will gradually season and deepen in colour, developing into a warmer, more golden hue and in some cases, a soft honeyed tone. This gentle transformation adds character and individuality to each piece, allowing it to age elegantly and develop a rich, nuanced patina, creating furniture that feels truly timeless, and destined to become heirlooms of the future.
No two pieces are ever quite the same - your ash wood furniture may arrive at any stage in its colour journey and will continue to warm and deepen as the years pass.
