The Signature Collection

Stockholms Auktionsverk proudly presents The Signature Collection, June 2025!
This auction marks the grand finale of a highly successful spring season, which has included several international record-breaking sales. On this occasion, the firm’s specialists have selected over 450 lots, spanning from the Baroque era to the present day. The common denominator? Outstanding quality – whether it’s a miniature portrait by Jakob Axel Gillberg or a garden sculpture from Blanch’s Café in Kungsträdgården.

Nowhere is the breadth more apparent than in the painting category, where carefully chosen works by old masters sit side by side with pieces by Prince Eugen, Knut Lundström, and Lotte Laserstein. Be sure not to miss Gösta Adrian-Nilsson’s (GAN) Figure 47, Lennart Jirlow’s portrait of his friend and fellow artist Gudmar Olovson, and Esaias Thorén’s painting The Tree. The collection also includes works by Robert Natkin, Inger Ekdahl, and Anna Kleberg Tham.

In the furniture section, a pair of high Gustavian commodes by Carl Lindborg are among the highlights, alongside 18th-century Parisian seating, modern classics by Josef Frank, a striking armchair by Carl Malmsten designed for Stockholm City Hall, Mats Theselius’ canary yellow National Geographic cabinet, and even a decorative pediment from Queen Christina’s pleasure pavilion. Among the decorative arts, you'll find a high-quality French mantel clock, gilded bronzes, and a standout pair of late Gustavian candlesticks attributed to Fredric Ludvig Rung.

The auction also includes both oriental and modern Swedish rugs, exquisite jewellery, luxury wristwatches from Rolex and Cartier, a magnificent Louis Vuitton trunk – and much, much more.
