The Gentlemen Room

The cigar smoke hangs thick over Kolonn’s Gentlemen’s Room theme, where clocks tick atmospherically, pages turn in captivating tomes, and something drinkable is poured into suitably matching glasses. To create such a tranquil space, the theme offers both humidors and cigar cutters, as well as an exclusive, heavy silver ashtray designed by Rey Urban.

Among the timepieces, you’ll find a magnificent late Empire table clock, a valuable gold pocket watch by H. Y. Moser, and a selection of highly attractive wristwatches from Universal, Longines, and Omega. For those seeking intellectual stimulation, there’s fascinating reading about the Swedish House of Nobility’s coats of arms, The Occult Diary by August Strindberg, Castles and Manor Houses in Sweden, or Olof von Dalin’s The History of the Swedish Realm. Alongside a decorative Italian-style suit of armor, the walls are adorned with numerous hunting trophies, including wild boar, roe deer, and red deer. Footsteps are softened by beautiful oriental rugs, with a particularly eye-catching figurative Tabriz among them.

If conversation topics run dry or silent reading needs to be interrupted, there is a range of fascinating historical objects to explore, such as a collection of antiquities from the ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Notably, a bronze statuette of an Egyptian deity stands out. Observations or thoughts are best recorded with the aid of two fountain pens, one of which is in gold, perfect for elegant handwriting on paper stored in a grand English mahogany chest.

Step in from the winter chill and enjoy a cozy moment in Kolonn’s own Gentlemen’s Room, where over a hundred lots offer something for everyone, regardless of who you are—or who you wish to be.
