You can practically set your watch to Palsgaard Kunstauktioner these days. Once a month, they present a selection of fine Scandinavian design — and now that the March catalogue has arrived, there are plenty of lots worth pausing for. Here are just a few highlights.
Otto Østbjerg’s wingback armchair is a prime example of the Danish cabinetmaking tradition at its absolute peak. A slightly younger design is Hans J. Wegner’s now rather rare "Mama Bear" — an organic delight from the 1950s and one of several Danish design classics featured in the catalogue.
A particularly rare bird is the functionalist bookcase/room divider from Magasin du Nord in Aarhus — a piece that leaves no room for anything but the strict, geometric forms of early modernism.
In addition to that, you’ll find a varied selection of lighting, modern bronzes, and a handful of Danish paintings.
