Fine Art & Antiques December 10–11

Stockholms Auktionsverk presents Fine Art and Antiques!

We invite you to explore an extensive selection of exquisite art and first-rate antiques. Leading the collection is Carl Larsson’s famous painting Lisbeth by the Birch, a central work for the artist and one of the most significant Swedish artworks from the early 1900s. Of particular importance is also Anders Bure’s monumental map of the Nordic countries, where 17th-century cartography ascends to fine art. Alongside these highlights is a newly discovered sculpture by Johan Tobias Sergel, rounding out three of the most outstanding pieces in this rich catalog.

A few other notable works include one of Anders Zorn’s celebrated dalkulla figures from his studio, as well as a drawing of Member of Parliament Erik Norrman. Pause to admire Gustaf Fjaestad’s captivating northern lights or Helmer Osslund’s grand autumn landscape. A more modest yet charming gem is Hugo Salmson’s The Red Lobster, in which a freshly cooked delicacy amazes the family’s youngest member. A touch of holiday cheer is found in Karl Emanuel Jansson’s Old Man Chopping Pine Boughs, a work of exceptional quality. And don’t miss the sharp gaze of a tax collector in the 16th-century Flemish painting—a look that has endured nearly five centuries!

The decorative arts section includes high-quality Stockholm pieces by masters such as Gottlieb Iwersson. Standout items are a pair of late Gustavian gilt and dark-patinated bronze sconces, along with a Rococo mirror by Johan Åkerblad. The showpiece is Olof Westberg’s Haga-model chandelier, comparable to the one in King Gustav III’s bedroom pavilion. The catalogue also features Elfdahls Porphyry vases in Orrlock’s porphyry and a baroque chest, each a rarity.

Among the international highlights, be sure to see a painted Flemish tapestry from the early 18th century, an intricate 19th-century wooden chandelier for 24 candles, a gilded Tibetan bronze figure, and a Tanka from the early 1800s.
