At Hälsinglands Auktionsverk, silversmiths from multiple centuries come together in a theme where the material—silver—takes center stage. A total of over 70 lots are presented, showcasing a great variety. The observant will notice a lot featuring tools for silversmithing. Thanks to Sweden’s excellent system of date markings and clear master and city stamps, we can determine exactly when, by whom, and where the objects were made. Here are a few examples: Lorens Stabeus’ fiddle-handle spoon is a Stockholm piece from 1761. Erik Gustaf Öström’s shaving brush was crafted in Gävle in 1840. Meanwhile, Fritz Olsson’s cake server was made in Luleå as recently as 1952. But as mentioned, these are just a few highlights.
A warm welcome to Hälsinglands Auktionsverk and our silver theme!
