Crafoord Auctions Stockholm is changing shape and taking on the guise of an antique shop — the wonderfully old-fashioned kind. Overloaded, brimming with delights, and surprising in every possible way. It’s a mix of the grand and the small, the old and the not-so-old, decorative, charming, and perfectly suited to a cabinet of curiosities.
The little cold-painted bronze turtle is a fine example, as is the pilgrim shell, the Russian eggs, the silver ingot, the travel icon, the paperweight and the Knight First Class sword device. And then there’s the Oscarian crown, the micromosaic pedestal table, the rococo mirror panel, the Ottoman prestige urn — the list could go on and on. A monumental painting from the Spanish School counts among the highlights of the theme. Much more could be mentioned, but that pleasure is left to your spirit of discovery.
