It was informative to learn that Fredrik Lidstromer was the primary architect of the construction of the first Rosendal Palace.
After the original palace burned down in 1819, Lidstromer created the initial drawings for the second Rosendal Palace.

The ‘Lantern Room’ (Lanterninen) was the most lavishly decorated room at the small summer palace Rosendal built by the architect Fredric Blom in 1823-27 for Carl XIV Johan. The Sèvres porcelain table in the centre was a gift from the French King Louis Philippe in 1840. The crystal chandelier was made in Stockholm by Reinhold Fredric Lindroth in 1831 after a design by Percier and Fontaine published in 1812.

My favourite crystal chandeliers at Rosendal is this elegant pair hanging in the Red Salon. They were made by Reinhold Fredric Lindroth in Stockholm in the late 1820s.

The Empire style is in Sweden also known as the Karl Johan style, after King Karl XIV Johan who was king of Sweden 1818–1844. It is characterized by furniture in mahogany, wall-to-wall carpeting and magnificent curtain arrangements in strong colors. Rosendal Palace, at Royal Djurgården in Stockholm, looks very much the same as it did during King Karl XIV Johan’s days which makes it a unique document of the European Empire style. The Red Salon, the Blue Salon, the Yellow Salon and the Green Salon are all witness to the importance of color for the interiors from this period.

The porphyry vase at Rosendal.
Karl XIV Johan owned from 1818 Elfdals Porphyrverk in Älvdalen. In the spring of 1823, he ordered a monumental vase from the Porphyry. This is a scaled-up copy of an antique vase found in Herculaneum, Italy. The boulder was mined in Gåsvarv and is estimated to have weighed about 100 tonnes, of which nine tenths were cut off. The finished vase weighs 9.3 tons. The porphyry vase at Rosendal is placed in the garden at Rosendal Palace.

Favorite from the Royal collections - The Sèvres table at Rosendal
On Tuesdays, the Royal Palace's museum teachers take over the Instagram account and presents their favorite objects from the #royalcollections Today, museum teacher Kristina Hagberg talks about an appreciated state gift:
“In the middle of Rosendal Palace's main parade room, Lanterninen, stands a very special table. It is made in 1843 in expensive, painted Sèvres porcelain with bronze details. The table came as a gift from French King Louis Philippe to Charles XIV Johan as a thank you for his previous gift: two huge urns in black Älvdalsporfyr."

In the green footsteps of Karl XIV Johan
This year we celebrate another anniversary! It has been 200 years since Karl XIV Johan had Rosendal Palace built on the Royal Djurgården. The palace has remained largely untouched since that time, and now the historic park is also being restored. The Royal Djurgården Administration has mapped the park's history with the support of old archives, garden archeology and modern scanning technology. Thanks to that, the image of a lost palace park has emerged. As part of the anniversary, park tours are given by those involved in the project; the archaeologists, the building antiquarian, the landscape architect, the park manager and the gardeners. The park tours are given, on different themes, on Wednesdays in May, June, August and September.
On May 3, park manager Gunnar Björkman and landscape architect Jonas Berglund talked about the ongoing refurbishment and restoration, where cold walls and walkways are restored and the floral splendor of the Oskarian era is recreated with so-called wallpaper groups, ornate flower festoons and Dowager Queen Josefina's flower fountain.
