Country Swedish Gustavian Center Table Painted by Ira Yeager

Charming 19th century country Swedish center table or rent table finished in the Gustavian taste. The round drum form pedestal table features a painted case decorated with a bust of Count Hans Axel von Ferson (The Younger) Stockholm dated 1785 depicted with a hat, mask, and a trout. The whimsical painting was made by Yeager in the late 20th century and signed on the lapel.
