King Gustav III of Sweden was heavily influenced by French politics and French decoration.
After seeing what happened to the French monarchy in the revolution Gustav established a very strong royal rule, curtailing his permissive parliament's reforms
Although in many ways quite autocratic, his interest in culture and intellectual freedom led to a hugely rich cultural heritage.
He introduced French Neo-classical style to Sweden

Gustavian interiors were light and elegant interpretations of the Louis XVI style, with echoes of English, German and Dutch influences
What a lovely post Annie! If you make it over to Sweden I promise to take you to see Gunnebo(it´s not far from us) - and some other lovely places where the colours are beautifully Swedish...including the baroque castle, Läckö, which is also wonderful.
