For the eighth time, Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm presents a curated selection of exquisite objects under the title Art & Antiques. This time, the auction features 330 lots, including several pieces with that little something extra. A perfect example is the pair of Louis XVI candelabras, adorned with lavish bronze cornucopias. Jean-Baptiste Clésinger’s impressive Lucretia is another standout, as are the gilded andirons, the French mantel clock, and not least, the historically significant 17th-century German suit of armor.
But don’t miss the small Meissen figurine, the precariously balanced speed marvel Merry Clown, Egron Lundgren’s fortune teller, and all the other treasures on offer. Altogether, the selection is like a cabinet of curiosities with its doors wide open—featuring Chinese porcelain, classic Swedish paintings, European furniture craftsmanship, silver cutlery sets, and a surprise or two.
