Furniture manufactured prior the Swedish termination of the guilds in 1846, is called Classic furniture. The stylistic periods Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Louis XVI, Empire and the various international equivalents are all in this category.
Generally speaking, the old furniture and art works that are valuable today, also were exclusive at the time when they were manufactured. Interior design and objects where to reflect a person’s dignity and position in society. Therefore, a large number of exclusive items for the upper class were made.
The guilds made sure that artisans held a consistently high level in their work. Hence a maker’s mark was quite often required and it is through these marks that we today can originate the maker, when and where it was made an in some cases even the quality. Over the years, there pieces of work have spread through inheritance and auctions.
