The large gilded mirror and console table, the tea table with folding leaves, and the chairs are all antique pieces from Louhisaari. The chairs and the sofa from the Karuna estate represent the French-influenced Gustavian style, characterized by a square, fully upholstered backrest. The design of the chairs was inspired by furniture from the time of King Louis XVI of France, which Gustav III encountered during his visit to Paris in 1784. The harpsichord was made in Muzio Clementi’s workshop in London at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and was acquired for the museum’s collection through the artist Louis Sparre in Porvoo.
The pair of portraits flanking the Stockholm wall clock were painted by the German-born artist Johan Henrie Scheffel in the 1750s. The portraits depict Baron Johan Augustin Mannerheim and his second wife, Helena Maria Söderhjelm. The small engravings depicting King Gustav III and Queen Sofia Magdalena are the work of Fredrik Akre from the 1770s.
The symmetrically placed, entirely white neoclassical tile stoves in the two corners of the room are likely from the early 19th century. Their sparse ornamentation consists of reliefs without any painted decoration.
