In crisp photographs and insightful text, the Läckö Castle of the 1600s comes back to life. This book features numerous pieces of exquisite furniture from the castle – including tapestries, a unique dollhouse, ornate cabinets, medicine chests, tables, mirrors, and, most of all, chairs. The majority of these pieces were collected by Magnus Gabriel De la Gardies (1622-1686), before the castle was abandoned until more recent times.

Here is a history of tables, from very primitive, rough wooden boards used in peasant households to the gilded and incredibly fine carving of decorative Rococo tables, from stark postmodern Italian and Scandinavian table designs to a fragile Louis XVIth secretary. Also game tables and exquisite sewing tables are featured, all made in Norway. Included are tables designed by Bruno Mathsson, Piet Hein and Finn Bryn.
