Literature

Svenska slott och herresäten, band II, Stockholm 1934, Öland, delar av stolsuppsättningen avbildad sid. 23, Drottningens salong. Sid 28: "Sittmöbeln - i italiensk empir - i detta rum hade ett stort affektionsvärde för drottningen. Klädseln - vävnad i en blandning av linne och silke - är nämligen helt och hållet ett verk av gemålens textilt konstförfarna hand. Originellt nog är det emellertid varierande mönster på varje möbeldel".
