His production was large and of noticeable quality, and he worked mostly in the late Gustavian style and the Swedish Empire style. The design is predominantly Neoclassical. His furniture was in very high demand, and his workshop furnished numerous castles and manor houses with chairs and couches. Literature: Torsten Sylvén, 'Stolens guldalder', 2003, p. 203–204.
