It's the changing ideals, shifting fashions, and varying expressions that come to the fore in the span between Thomas Beckman's 18th-century goblet and Tapio Wirkkala's necklace from 1971. In a theme featuring over 70 lots, Stockholms Auktionsverk captures the most and some of the best of over 200 years of silver craftsmanship. Alongside some substantial cutlery sets, you'll find candlesticks, vases, trophies, bowls, and of course, a couple of those stands that no one should be without when enjoying a leisurely weekend of toasting bread. A table lamp from 1918 by Märta af Ekenstam might provide a surprise. Some Persian smoking accessories broaden the collection, and who will, in the future, place their precious sugar in the bowl from the Gothenburg firm C. Tengstedt & Son?
