Time and space at the Royal Palace:
The Guest Apartment's interior room
In the Guest Apartment, you can see a series of rooms in the so-called entresol, a low floor between two higher floors. Behind the state rooms, with their large windows overlooking the city, there are smaller rooms with windows facing the inner courtyard. These rooms with low ceilings were heated more simply, with tiled stoves.
The inner salon was decorated in the 1790s in the so-called Pompeian style. The wall paintings were made by Adam Petter Holmberg, a student of the creator of late Gustavian interior art Louis Masreliez. The gilded sofa and chairs in the late Gustavian style were made by the cabinetmaker Ephraim Ståhl. The shape and decoration were largely borrowed from ancient models. The bookcase and secretary were made by court casket maker Georg Haupt, one of the most famous designers of Gustavian furniture.
On one side of the salon is the inner bedroom. The chairs in the room are signed by the chairmaker Erik Öhrmark, who supplied several chair series to the royal palaces in the late 18th century.
On the other side of the salon is the Margareta Room, named after Crown Princess Margareta. The Crown Princess devoted herself to both oil and watercolor painting and left behind a large production. A selection of her oil paintings are shown here, most of them Djurgården motifs.
The rooms are part of the Guest Apartment, which during the latter part of the 18th century was inhabited by Duke Fredrik Adolf, Gustav III's youngest brother. Since the 1870s, the apartment has been used as a residence for officially visiting heads of state.
