Svea Antiques & Accessories

Svea is a beautiful and elegant shop located off the main street at the traffic light that immediately impresses you as a place to find the perfect piece of painted antique Scandinavian furniture, home décor, or accent pieces like lamps, paintings and tabletop items from linens to serveware. The gracious and helpful store manager, Gunhild, is familiar to customers from the now-​closed Skandina that used to be across the street. When I visited this new location in December it was also filled with a wonderful collection of Scandinavian gift items including some incredible handcrafted elves direct from Stockholm, as well as jams, cookies, cookbooks and tree ornaments. Remember the Pippi Longstocking books? They’re here. I bought some fingertip towels that said «Naughty» and «Nice». They also had some silk orchid plants and tabletop topiary that were amazingly real looking! This place is a great addition to this charming town.
