Ekensholm's Castle: Part 2

Do you remember the story? It was about the cadet, royal lifeguard, ensign, Lieutenant Knut Kurck. He was detained for the murder of Gustav III. He survived with his life and in the 1820s had the current main building erected at Ekensholm - a rather substantial property with six whitewashed columns in front of a solid house body that doesn't shy away from anywhere.

And nearly 200 years after the construction, Södermanlands Auction House was honored with the task of handling a larger sale of movables from this venerable building. Now, part two of that auction is coming. With well over 200 lots of silver, coins, books, royal photographs, sheet music, jewelry, and a lot more. The dress from Augusta Lundin's studio is a piece of textile history. Lund opened a sewing firm in Stockholm in 1867 and quickly gained a highly prominent clientele, sewing garments for both the court and Selma Lagerlöf, among others. An unusually large lot of furniture and interiors in miniature format from the turn of the last century may also attract some interest, as well as a sparingly ornate cream jug from 1827 made by Adolf Zethelius.
