With the catalog for Hammarö's Spring Quality Auction 2024, Karlstad Hammarö Auktionsverk positions itself among Sweden's leading auction houses. With over 400 lots to choose from, a multifaceted and rich selection of art, design, and antiques from various eras and origins is offered. Excitingly, many pieces have been sourced from studios and homes in the nearby Värmland forests. Among these items are, of course, Lars Lerin's captivating watercolors (several to choose from) that adorn the walls alongside numerous interesting older paintings and a couple of Indian miniature paintings that could be dynamite for international art collectors. These are presented together with bronze works by artists such as Christian Eriksson and Carl Eldh. Among the most intricate pieces is the Swiss table clock, perfect for anyone with a refined hunting salon at home.
And if you want a quick tour of more highlights—here they are: a coastal scene by Johan Ericson at his best, Joakim Johansson's almost documentary depiction of Norrstrandsskolan's environs, Lisa Larson's incredibly rare dinosaur, Ellen Mortensen's Pärlhyacint cups, all the lamps plus the coffee table by Josef Frank, the Norwegian Ekstrem chair, the figurehead, watercolors by Nils Dardel and Gustaf Fjaestad, Erik Höglund's quirky glass vase, and that historically significant drum from a time when the military made their presence known as they marched through forests and across fields. And if that's not enough, there's a glittering green Harley just waiting for you to ride off into the sunset.
Please note that the auction will take place over three days, from June 14th to 16th.
