Modern Swedish Silver

Silver craftsmanship has a long and illustrious tradition. One must go back several hundred years in history to trace its roots, but at Crafoord Auctioneers in Lund, the focus is on the last decades of the 20th century with the theme of Modern Swedish Silver. Twenty lots are on display, and those interested in the area will recognize the masters. Works by Bengt Liljedahl, Michael Hamma, and Annika Daevel are among them. However, the oldest item in the auction is stamped as early as 1951. It is a sterling silver bowl, crafted by Wiwen Nilsson and naturally made in Lund. From this, a straight line can be drawn to Bengt Liljedahl's works. In contrast, there is a noticeable contrast when placing the bowl next to the creations of Claës Giertta and Viktor Mossberg, with their more hammered appeal. The common thread is instead a collector's discerning eye, their sense of quality and form. Welcome to experience just that at Crafoord Auctioneers Lund!
