250 year old furniture folk art from Uppland

In north Uppland, Sweden, where I live the farmers thrived around 1750-1850, beside the farming they did work for the ironproduction around the area.

The wealth resulted in big houses that they filled with painted furnitures, a luxury at the time.

During 1760-1780 the decorpainting of furnitures had it's peak in Uppland.

They have just been exhibited at Upplandsmuséet in Uppsala, enjoy some of the unknown masters:

The Rose Master 1766

The Flame Tulip Master 1789

The Flame Tulip Master 1790

The Alunda Master 1768

Hope You enjoyed, I did!

August in Uppsalas City Garden

Today I had some time over for a stroll with my camera in Uppsalas City Park (Uppland-Sweden).

I love this park because it's really well planned and changes constantly in colours and shapes.

Carl von Linné, the famous botanist that lived here would be proud.

Enjoy the stroll with me:

I hope You enjoyed as much as I did!

Thumbs DOWN: Idiots that throw diapers and other garbage on the ground when it's plenty of garbagebins around!

BIG thumbs UP for the dedicated gardeners that made this park amazing!

THANK YOU ALL for joining, Per!
