Muut tiedot

The three-part couch originated in France in the mid-18th century. The sofa's construction with delimiting armrests at each end allowed confidential conversations, there of the name "Confidante". In the second half of the 18th century, George Hepplewhite and John Linnell in London designed different models of this type of sofa. In Sweden, it occurred during Gustavian times, but is rather unusual. There are two sofas in private ownership, one of which is depicted in the salon at Hörningsholm 1968, and a third in the Royal collections at Tullgarn Palace. The royal couch is made by Melchior Lundberg, who was master in Stockholm 1775-1812.
