Since founding his own internationally recognized antique dealership over a decade ago, Daniel has become one of the world’s leading purveyors of 18th- and 19th-century Swedish antiques. With By D. Larsson, Daniel brings limited-edition pieces of the finest models of Gustavian furniture to life.

He scoured for over a year to find a larger-than-usual Gustavian period chair, as the era produced furniture for a generally smaller human scale. Whereas some replicas simply upscale the proportions of antique chairs, By D. Larsson represents diligent mimics of the perfect, originally proportioned models, to keep the editions as true to the style as possible. The designs are the exclusive collection on the market that maintains the structural and stylistic integrity of signed works by original artisans.

Emerson Bailey is committed to wide-opening the doors to the world of luxury antiques, and proudly introduces this new exclusive collection of  limited-stock reproductions with the character and charm of originals, at an incomparable and unprecedented price point for their level of integrity.
