Arms & Armour is the name of a collection of 200 military items now presented by Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm. Some of the most exciting items in advance are drawn from the Swedish Empire era. And if we start there, there's reason to linger a bit on the storm hood, chain mail, and powder flasks, all of which bring to life everything you read about in history books. In the same breath, the well-preserved armor, a German work from the 1600s, should be mentioned. Also, pay particular attention to the matchlock musket with an engraved blade and bird-shaped match holders.
In addition to this, there's a long line of treasures for collectors and enthusiasts. For example, the medal collection with Finnish origins, the dueling pistols, and the flintlock musket of good old British design.
The extensive range also includes a portrait of Oscar I and a well-painted winter scene by Christian Sell, depicting a group of uniformed men heading home from their duties. These examples are just a few highlights from Crafoord Auktioner Stockholm's exceptionally rich catalog.
