Agneta Wrede's vestibule is a room in the upper floor of Åkeshov Palace in Bromma, outside Stockholm, Sweden. The room is named after Baroness Agneta Wrede af Elimä (1718–1800),[citation needed] and who lived in the palace during 1747–1800. The room is richly decorated and painted in Rococo style.[1][2] The decoration of the suite depicts a rural idyll. The entire interior remains authentic.[3]
History
editIn 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.[4] The next owner was the then only eight-year-old son David.[4][3]
The paintings in Agneta Wrede's vestibule were stored at the beginning of the 20th century, but were later found after many years in the attic of St. Erik's hospital.[citation needed]
Stockholm City Museum spearheaded an effort to return the paintings to their original setting.[when?] 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.[4][1]
