With its characteristic upper tier of pendant chains, spreading cascade and central blue glass stem, this chandelier relates to examples at Gustav III’s Pavilion at Haga, built 1787-‘90 by Olof Tempelman (d. 1816) and with interiors by Louis Masreliez (d. 1810), who had accompanied the King on his Grand Tour which included visits to Pompeii and Herculaneum. The pavilion’s exquisite and precious Pompeiian interiors, filled with late 1780s French and Swedish furniture and works and art, are among the finest and best preserved in Europe. The Blue Drawing Room and Hall of Mirrors – the most prominent rooms - both have chandeliers of very similar design as the present lot  (H. Groth, Neoclassicism in the North, London, 1990, pp. 86-101).
