Agneta Wrede's vestibule
Agneta Wrede's vestibule is a room in the upper floor of Åkeshov Palacee in Bromma, outside Stockholm, Sweden. The room is named after Baroness Agneta Wrede af Elimä (1718–1800), and who lived in the palace during 1747–1800.
History[edit]
In 1720, Åkeshov palace was bought by the at the time Chancellor of Justice, Baron Gabriel Stierncrona, who converted it with subordinate farms in Spånga and Järfälla parishes.[1] The next owner was the then only eight-year-old son David.[1][2]
Overview[edit]
The decoration of the suite that was to be used by the wife became more peaceful and idyllically rural. In the room known as Agneta Wrede's vestibule, an entire interior remains authentic.[2] The wall fields are painted in flowing rich Rococo style.[3][4]
The paintings in Agneta Wrede's vestibule were stored at the beginning of the 20th century, but were found after many years in St. Erik's hospital, rolled up in the attic. With the help of the Stockholm City Museum it was possible to restore the wallpaper in the vestibule. During the restoration, Agneta Wrede's vestibule were restored and the paintings in the upper hall skillfully copied by the artist John Broberg and Brita Juel-Soop.[1][3]
