Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm — the Swedish auction world's very own cabinet of curiosities — presents Art & Antiques XVII!
The recipe is by now well tried and tested. The auction house's specialists have selected works of art and antiques that all possess that little something extra. Old Masters are thus paired with Chinese porcelain, bronze and silver, and of course those curious objects one simply cannot help but approach. One such is the charming little pull-along toy — a nodding dog on four wheels, just waiting to become someone's best friend.
Delightful is Yamakawa Shuho's woodblock print depicting Tokyo's railway station. Elegant and wonderfully typical of its era is the majolica console from the jubilee year of 1897. And then there is that peculiar contraption from Mazetti — a piggy bank and sweet dispenser all in one. How does one even begin to think about that?
And so it continues, in the most wonderful fashion, through a catalogue comprising just over 240 lots. Sit back and enjoy!
