Eclectic & Decorative September 2024

Once again, Stockholms Auktionsverk opens its doors to "Eclectic & Decorative" and presents a catalog filled with delightful offerings. Classical antiques (such as a late Gustavian torchère) share the space with modern paintings (the power line by Otto G is a true highlight). The catalog also features older paintings, high-quality silver, Scandinavian design, and a few rare items. The silver Bezique marker from the Victorian era is just such an obsolete item, something for collectors and connoisseurs.

Among the artworks, there are many familiar names. August Hagborg, Esaias Thorén, Lars Jonsson, Lennart Jirlow, Esther Kjerner, Bengt Lindström, and David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl are just a few of them. There is also a particularly fine winter sky by Anshelm Schultzberg, painted in 1886, a small delicate watercolor from Lofoten by Lars Lerin, three still lifes by Einar Jolin, a couple of smaller compositions by GAN, a few modernist gems by Endre Nemes, and an intense nude study by Endel Köks. The auction's furniture includes pieces by such diverse figures as Gottlieb Iwersson and Josef Frank. Subdued models in the finest woodworking contrast sharply with graphics by Olle Baertling and a collage by Karl Heinz Adler. A number of fine Persian workshop carpets are also available, with a signed Ghom being a fun inclusion.

All in all, the September edition of "Lilla Kvalitén" features over 600 selected lots in various price ranges.
